I know what it feels like to be in the biggest band in the world . . . even if it was only while U2 were having a cig somewhere. We still did it, and I can tell you it is f*cking hard work and we treated it with the contempt it deserved. --Noel Gallagher
Oasis is one of the biggest bands the world has ever seen. After forming in Manchester in 1991, they would go on to define the sound of the 1990s and the Britpop era. (What's the Story) Morning Glory, their 1995 album, remains one of the best-selling albums of all time. To date they have sold over 78 million albums around the world. In the eighteen years that the group were together, band members came and went, but Liam and Noel Gallagher remained the notorious sibling duo at the heart of it all.
In Supersonic, Liam and Noel Gallagher tell the story of their beginnings from dive-bar hopefuls to global superstars. The frontmen talk us through the pivotal moments in their trajectory, from the day Noel joined his brother Liam's band, through their first crucial five years culminating at their landmark gigs performing for more than a quarter million fans at Knebworth Park in 1996.
Packed with over thirty hours of interviews with Liam, Noel, and those closest to them, this book documents in unprecedented depth and with their trademark candor and humor the story of their stratospheric rise, the early signs of their downfall, and Oasis's indelible mark on music history.
