This has probably been coming for awhile, some would say with a high degree of inevitability. Oasis legend and more recently solo star, Liam Gallagher has teamed up with John Squire, one of the most influential guitarists and songwriters of his generation via his time with The Stone Roses. The duo today set a high …

Image Credit: Jill Furmanovsky The Gallagher brothers are showing no evidence that there is any Oasis reunion in the pipeline. Liam has just stolen a march on his older sibling by announcing a 12 date UK tour to mark the 30th anniversary of their debut LP “Definitely Maybe”, playing the album in full along with …

Overshadowed by the pantomime of the main protagonists, it’s easy to forget that, at one time, Oasis were a genuinely exciting band. By way of a little crack in the door back to those times comes a new lyric video for b-side ‘Step Out’, on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of Don’t Look Back …

I CAN’T be the only one who noted that December 18th was the 25th anniversary of the release of that swingin’, knowin’, cheesy-easy version of “Wonderwall” by Mike Flowers Pops and uttered a ripe Anglo-Saxon expletive. F**k. How exactly did that happen now? A quarter-century? As Haruki Murakami said: “The past increases, the future recedes”. …

The cooler-than-thou retro-modern indie Kings from Sweden, Eskobar, are back to follow up their earlier single ‘When Your Heroes Fall’ which we reviewed last month. ‘Roller Coaster’ provides indelible proof that we are dealing with a serious bunch of musicians with an inherent talent for performance and melody. ‘Roller Coaster’ has all the insouciant swagger …

Australia’s DMA’s continue to forge a bright and exhilarating path of their own with the release of the third single – ‘The Glow’ – off their forthcoming album ‘The Glow’, now due out on 10 July 2020. ‘The Glow’ is classic up-tempo indie rock with the hallmark euphoric stadium-perfected choruses, anthemic and pulsating yet underpinned …

Sydney’s DMAs have proven through their resilience and brilliant songwriting that they are not mere pale imitations of Oasis despite the undeniable similarities. Their 2016 debut album, ‘Hills End’ was critically acclaimed and they recently supported The Kooks’ arena tour across the UK. DMAs have just released a fantastic single and video off their forthcoming …

It’s a shame Creation Records is now known as the home of bloated rock gods Oasis when in reality it was the ground-breaking label that created DIY indie pop. It helps Creation was started by one of music’s genuine mavericks Glaswegian Alan McGee and his genius is celebrated in this lavish 5 CD compilation of …

Brash, summery rock ‘n’ roll late in the season. A slight points deduction for some Gallagher-esque syllable extension on “me” and “see” but otherwise you can have yourself a good time with the clumping drums, shimmery guitars and cocksure confidence of “Come and Get Me”, the latest single from singer-songwriter Lawrence Bray.  Enjoy !

I don’t know when I became aware of Britpop as a ‘scene’. In late 1994 I had read a few articles on a hotly-tipped band called Suede, and then watching Top of the Pops one Thursday evening it featured a band called Blur playing a slightly annoying song called “Girls and Boys”. Personally I was …
