  • The Supernaturals were a five-piece guitar based pop band from Glasgow, Scotland. Fronted by singer-songwriter James McColl, they signed to Parlophone in 1996 and had a string of singles which were taken from their three albums and four EPs. Other members included Mark Guthrie, Derek McManus and Ken McAlpine. The band's best known songs ("Smile" and "I Wasn't Built To Get Up") were featured prominently in a series of television advertisements, but the group never achieved the mainstream success that had been predicted for them. In total they scored five Top 40 entries in the UK Singles Chart.

Mit dem Frontsänger James McColl erhielten sie 1996 einen Plattenvertrag bei Parlophone und veröffentlichten eine Reihe von Singleauskopplungen aus ihren drei Alben. Einige ihrer Songs wurden in Werbespots verwendet, der Band gelang jedoch nie der richtige Durchbruch, weil sie von den Medien nicht als cool angesehen wurden. Während ihrer aktiven Zeit von fünf Jahren produzierten The Supernaturals fast 100 Songs, von denen allerdings nur fünf in den UK-Top-40 landeten. Am erfolgreichsten war ihr Album It Doesn't Matter Anymore, das 1997 Platz 9 der Albumcharts erreichte. Der Sound der Band lehnte sich an den der Rockbands der 1960er Jahre an, enthielt aber auch Synthesizerelemente. Die Texte der Songs waren oft selbstironisch und amüsant.
