About
The band Oasis are one of the originators of the “Britpop” sound that overtook the U.K. in the Nineties. Singer Liam Gallagher formed the group in 1991 in Manchester alongside guitarist Paul “Bonehead” Arthurs, bass player Paul “Guigsy” McGuigan, and drummer Tony McCarroll. Liam’s older brother Noel Gallagher joined soon after to play lead guitar and become Oasis’s principal songwriter. The band’s 1994 debut album Definitely Maybe was a massive success in England on the strength of singles like “Live Forever,” “Supersonic,” and “Rock ‘N’ Roll Star,” each song shot through with equal parts attitude and melody.
