The Supernaturals - Bird of Luck (2019)

The Supernaturals formed in 1991. Their original lineup was comprised of Derek McManus (guitar), James McColl (guitar/vocals), Gavin Crawford (drums) and Mark Guthrie (bass). Their first cassette release was "Big 7" in 1992 followed by "Dark Star" in early 1993. Ken McAlpine joined the band in early 1994 on keyboards with Sean Guthrie and Steve Jeffrey sitting in as his replacement on keyboards occasionally. The band often played long sets and featured many impromptu cover versions of songs by bands such as The Move, The Replacements and The Monkees. “When I look back to Brit Pop, it's not to remember how Oasis changed my life, because they didn't, but it's to remember some of the splendid Pop that was revived. It seems to get lost in the all the ‘Parklife’ and ‘Different Class’ - that chatter, that that time was golden age for great guitar pop. Bands like Dodgy, The Lightning Seeds, The Bluetones, Ash, Cast mixed with lesser known groups such as Straw and Octopus. One of my favourite bands of the time were The Supernaturals and I've stuck with them ever since. The band were not a million miles away from The Bluebells, but far exceeded most due to the quality of the lyrics. Never afraid of a couplet, nor taking themselves too seriously, The Supernaturals were masters of Summer Pop. Thankfully, they have never lost that ability. It was a 13 year gap to the surprise release of 2015's ‘360’, which showed that they still were masters at what they do. Four years on, ‘Bird Of Luck’’s 11 songs are outstanding. Much needed in these divided times.” – IDontHearASingle.com GREAT!!
