Biography

Definitely Maybe bottled urgency; (What’s the Story) Morning Glory? owned the mid-90s skyline.

Wonderwall and Don’t Look Back in Anger became communal scripts well beyond Britpop’s borders.

B-sides cult proved prolific hooks lived outside album slots.

Lossless streams expose tape-style drum rooms, string beds, and vocal doubles.

Oasis began in Manchester when Liam Gallagher joined Paul Arthurs, Paul McGuigan, and Tony McCarroll, and his older brother Noel soon took over as songwriter. Definitely Maybe (1994) was a debut for the ages, followed by (What’s the Story) Morning Glory? (1995) and the Knebworth shows in 1996.

Be Here Now (1997) was a huge seller, and later albums included Standing on the Shoulder of Giants (2000), Heathen Chemistry (2002), Don’t Believe the Truth (2005), and Dig Out Your Soul (2008). The band broke up in Paris in 2009.
