My Chemical Supergrass: Gerard Way and Gaz Coombes in conversation
sean by Sean Adams November 30th, 2014

Over the years, DiS has been pleasantly surprised by the tastes of some of our favourite acts, but when we heard that emo-legend Gerard Way was a massive anglophile, who was particularly into Brit Pop and that Supergrass were one of his favourite bands, an idea was born. A few emails later, and it was happening.

Here's what happened when the former My Chemical Romance frontman visited Oxford and met his boyhood hero Gaz Coombes, for a chat about the challenges and joys of going solo.

UPDATE: Here is part two.

To be alerted when more features like this are live, subscribe to our YouTube channel or follow us on Twitter @drownedinsound or Facebook.

Gerard Way's debut solo album Hesitant Alien is out now.
Gaz Coombes' second solo album Matador is released in early 2015.
