Description
'An entertaining first-hand account of pure rock 'n' roll madness.' The Daily Telegraph
'Hundreds of exclusive photos and brilliant one-liners make for a sensational read.' the Sun
'We are the biggest band in Britain of all time, ever. The funny thing is, all that fucking mouthing off three years ago about how we were going to be the biggest band in the world - we actually went and did it.' Noel Gallagher
Oasis are one of the biggest bands the world has ever seen. Here, in Supersonic, they tell the story of their beginnings from dive-bar hopefuls to global superstars. They themselves talk us through the pivotal moments in their phenomenal trajectory, from the day Noel Gallagher joined his brother Liam's band, through their first crucial five years culminating at their landmark gigs at Knebworth Park in 1996 - the pinnacle of their success.
With over thirty hours of interviews with Liam, Noel and those closest to them, this book documents in unprecedented depth and with their trademark candour and humour, the story behind one of the world's greatest bands, all told in their own words and fully illustrated with exclusive photographs and ephemera throughout.

Oasis formed in Manchester in 1991 and would go on to define the sound of the 1990s and the Britpop era. 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. (What's the Story) Morning Glory, their 1995 album spent ten weeks at the top of the British charts and remains one of the best-selling albums of all time. To date they have sold over 78 million albums around the world.
