Noel Gallagher
Sleaford Mods
Sleaford Mods have said that Noel Gallagher has "blood on his hands" when it comes to the creative output of British bands.
The Nottingham two piece speak in this week's NME, which is on newsstands now and available digitally, about their background and influences.
Stating that their name is not meant to be ironic, frontman Jason Williamson of the Nottingham based rap duo, confirms that he grew up as a Mod but turned away when the scene became too retro for him.
"Creatively speaking, Noel Gallagher's got blood on his hands." Elsewhere, Williamson decries the lack of politically outspoken music in 2014, saying; "Ever since Thatcher got in and cut everything to the bone, it should have been protest music all the way."
Sleaford Mods new album 'Divide and Exit' is released on April 28.

"Who Feels Love?" is a song by British rock band Oasis, written by the band's lead guitarist Noel Gallagher. It became the second single to be released from the album Standing on the Shoulder of Giants, peaking at number 4 in the UK charts when released on 17th of April 2000.
The album was noted for its psychedelic feel, and "Who Feels Love?" was held up as the most extreme example of this. Mark Stent was praised for his production on the song, creating a "trippy" feel like that found on Beatles songs such as "Rain". With the psychedelic and Eastern sound, the song also reminds of George Harrison achievements like "Within You Without You" and also some of his solo work.
However, despite the high-quality production, the song was not well received by the critics, NME said that the production "triumphs over any real sort of feeling... pure mock Maharishi spirituality that not even Liam can salvage from the realm of self-parody".
One of the B-sides is a cover of The Beatles' "Helter Skelter". It was played live during the Shoulders tour of 2000. Paul Weller recorded a version of b-side "One Way Road" for his covers-album Studio 150 in 2004. The Weller version was subsequently used as the theme tune to Jack Dee's sitcom Lead Balloon.

This Feeling
Dumb RETURN with a double A-side single ‘Two Bottles’ / ‘Supersonic Love Toy’.
Influenced by Pixies, The Cribs and cult American indie rock heroes Built To Spill, their bold and brash combination of self-assured swagger, slick melodies and Dylan William’s rasping vocals have already brought Dumb to the attention of the likes of NME and BBC Radio 1.
Dumb’d two debut singles “Dive” and “Retina” released in 2013 brought an explosive riot of squalling guitars and cocksure attitude. They generated great online support from key tastemaker blogs sites and received plays on Radio 1, was playlisted at XFM, Amazing & Absolute and received extensive support from specialist regional radio shows and major blog sites with Consequence of Sound and Clash getting the exclusives.
For their first ever gig the band went straight to the prestigious stage of London’s KOKO and the legendary Club NME night before returning home to headline Birmingham’s O2 Academy 3. Last Autumn they joined The Agency Group roster and continued to build their live reputation by playing key slots with the likes of Darlia, Skaters, LSA, Superfood, Baby Strange, Splashh, Charlie Boyer and the Voyeurs plus a memorable night opening their manager, Jon Brookes’ memorial night at Royal Albert Hall with The Charlatans, The Vaccines & New Order in October.
During the recent winter months the band has recorded brand new tracks which have been produced in London by Cam Blackwood who has recently worked with Darlia, London Grammar & George Ezra.
2014 will see Dumb continue to cement the foundations they’ve built, establishing themselves as one of the country’s most promising new bands.

Oasis
An exhibition celebrating 20 years of British band Oasis has opened in London. Called "Chasing The Sun: Oasis 1993 to 1997," the exhibition looks back at the history of the Manchester band who shot to fame in the mid 90s.
The “Chasing the Sun” exhibition features artifacts, clothing, rare photographs, memorabilia and musical instruments.
There's also a life-size replica of the room featured on the cover of the "Definitely Maybe" album.
Also on display is early album artwork designed by Brian Cannon.
"I was a massive fan, which obviously always helps. And it was crazy times," Cannon said. "Funnily enough the closer you got to the epicentre of it all the normal it became because they're very down-to-earth grounded people. So whilst everybody else is going bonkers the inner circle was very chilled out really."
The opening of the exhibition coincides with the 20th anniversary of their debut single "Supersonic" released on April 11th, 1994. It also marks the re-release of "Definitely Maybe" on May 19th.
"Well you know it's marvellous isn't it, that 20 years after the band's still so relevant really, and still have the same impact and still mean so much to so many people, it's madness," Cannon said.
Formed by brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher, Oasis shot to fame in the mid 90s and became one of the leaders in what was coined the Brit Pop movement.
Oasis went on to become one of the biggest British bands, enjoying a successful career always marred by the turbulent relationship between the two brothers.
"Chasing The Sun: Oasis 1993-1997" is showing at the London-Newcastle Project Space in east London until April 22nd.

Manuel Pellegrini
Noel Gallagher
Noel Gallagher looks definitely, maybe a little unhappy after watching his beloved Manchester City side defeated at Liverpool this afternoon.
The musician was at Anfield to see Manuel Pellegrini's side continue their title challenge.
But having fought back from two goals behind, Reds star Philippe Coutinho struck late for the home side to leave Gallagher far from pleased.
Manchester City are now seven points behind with two games in hand as this season's Premier League nears what looks to be an exhilarating climax.
But it's looking less likely Gallagher and City's other supporters will be seeing a champagne supernova when the season concludes next month.
Let's hope he doesn't look back in anger after today's result.

It seems to be a popular venue for the A-list in London currently – and celebrity rockers Noel Gallagher, 46, and Bono, 53, are the latest in a string of stars to spend the night at The Firehouse.
The pair were spotted arriving, albeit separately, at the exclusive nightspot on Friday evening – with Bono bringing his wife Ali Hewson.
Noel looked cool, calm and collected as he arrived in a faux leather jacket and jeans, with a casual polo top beneath.
Not blinking an eye at the sea of flashbulbs he approached, the Don’t Look Back In Anger rocker nearly smiled as he cut his way through the crowds to the main entrance.

Noel Gallagher
Noel Gallagher told The Fantasy Football Club why he thinks Luis Suarez should join Manchester City.
Fenners joined the former Oasis guitarist and singer to chat about his beloved Sky Blues, their crunch fixture with Liverpool on Sunday, plus more...
To watch the interview in full - including why Noel thinks Man Utd got the booby-prize with David Moyes - click here.
What did you make of Roberto Mancini's dismissal?
NOEL: "To get rid of the guy that won us the league and the FA Cup for the first time in 30-odd years - we didn't like it as fans. But the owners, they do their homework you know, they seem to have got the right man.
"If you'd have told me at the beginning of the season that we'd have already have got a trophy and have progressed in the Champions League and we'll be right up their challenging at the end of the season, having played some amazing football - we'd have all taken that.
"If we don't win the league, they'll be no clamour to get people out or anything like that."
How impressed have you been with Liverpool this season?
NOEL: "If they go on and win it now from where they've come from and take 14 straight wins to take the title; you're going to have to applaud them. If they do a number on us on Sunday I'll clap them off the pitch."
Would you want Luis Suarez at Man City?
NOEL: "I don't know what sort of price they'd put on his head; as each week goes by it must be another £10million.
"I don't think he'll be there that much longer. He's a brilliant player but he's got to be getting sick of the weather now. It's a least one degree warmer in Manchester."
How good is David Silva?
NOEL: "He might be the best player that's ever played for us. He's just out of this world on the ball."
Who will win Liverpool v Man City?
NOEL: "I think on Sunday it will be a draw. I'm going to go with Merson and say a score draw."
Who will win the Premier League?
NOEL: "You absolutely can't call it and anyone who is saying that they can, why don't they rush down to the bookies and put £10,000 on it because this league, out of all the leagues in the world, will make a mug of you.
"We'll go to Anfield and win on Sunday and then get beat by Crystal Palace or something because Yaya's brought his deckchair with him instead of his boots and his iPad and he's doing his shopping in the centre circle instead of getting stuck in.
"You can't call it. I hope we win it. If we don't win it I hope we go super close and if we don't win it I hope Liverpool win it."

Oasis
Paul Slattery
Liam Gallagher and Paul 'Bonehead' Arthurs last night attended the opening of the Oasis exhibition Chasing The Sun: Oasis 1993–1997 at Londonewcastle Project Space in Shoreditch, London.
The pair arrived unannounced at the invite-only preview to the free-to-view exhibition, which opens to the public today (April 11) runs until April 22. Gallagher – now sporting a shaven haircut – and the former Oasis guitarist were swarmed by fans on entering, and spent about 45 minutes posing for pictures and talking to attendees.
Speaking to NME after the event, Bonehead said: "We didn't get to see [the exhibition] – we got fucking mobbed. But actually going in there with Liam and seeing what I did see was pretty emotional. I spoke to Paul Slattery, who's got a lot of pictures up, and me and Liam gave him big hugs and made plans to catch up. We looked at each other and went, 'Is it really 20 years ago?' Mental, man – time flies."
Bonehead said that the decision to attend the opening was made just a day before. "It was a case of, 'Are you going down?' He was like, 'No.' Then a phone call yesterday, he said, 'Are you going tomorrow?' I was like, 'Not really, I'm doing a gig in Weston-super-Mare tonight. Are you going?' He said, 'If you're going, I'm going,' so I booked a hotel and drove over. I'm glad we made the effort – we both said tonight that we're glad."
He also explained the absence of other former bandmembers. "Alan White's in Spain, Guigs [Paul McGuigan] couldn't make it and Noel's recording, so we had to come really. It's good that some of the bandmembers made it. Liam is Oasis, so the fact he turned up and had pictures with people is great."
Bonehead now plans to return for a private view so he can see the exhibition properly. "My son's a big Oasis fan all of sudden and he wants to come and see it," he said.
Part of the exhibition involves a recreation of the sleeve from 1994's debut album 'Definitely Maybe', which was shot in Bonehead's living room in Didsbury, south Manchester. It contains items seen in the original image from Bonehead's own home. "I actually did put a lot of the original artefacts in it – sofa cover, fire surround, ashtrays, light fittings," he said. "The stained glass was built into my house so I couldn't take it out. I've moved house since then but I took it all with me."
Curated by photographer Lawrence Watson, the exhibition documents major events such as the band's shows at Manchester's Maine Road and Knebworth plus the creation of their albums 'Definitely Maybe', '(What’s The Story) Morning Glory?' and 'Be Here Now'. It features previously unseen images from photographers Jill Furminovsky, Paul Slattery, Tom Sheehan, Kevin Cummins and Jamie Fry.
Also on display are some of the instruments played on the band's early albums, which have been loaned by band members themselves, as well as merchandise, artefacts from the album sleeves, tour documentation and rare video footage.
The exhibition is taking place to mark the reissue of the band's 1994 debut album 'Definitely Maybe' on May 19.

Part of the exhibition involves a recreation of the sleeve from 1994's debut album 'Definitely Maybe', which was shot in Bonehead's living room in Didsbury, south Manchester. It contains items seen in the original image from Bonehead's own home. "I actually did put a lot of the original artefacts in it – sofa cover, fire surround, ashtrays, light fittings," he said. "The stained glass was built into my house so I couldn't take it out. I've moved house since then but I took it all with me."
Curated by photographer Lawrence Watson, the exhibition documents major events such as the band's shows at Manchester's Maine Road and Knebworth plus the creation of their albums 'Definitely Maybe', '(What’s The Story) Morning Glory?' and 'Be Here Now'. It features previously unseen images from photographers Jill Furminovsky, Paul Slattery, Tom Sheehan, Kevin Cummins and Jamie Fry.
Also on display are some of the instruments played on the band's early albums, which have been loaned by band members themselves, as well as merchandise, artefacts from the album sleeves, tour documentation and rare video footage.
The exhibition is taking place to mark the reissue of the band's 1994 debut album 'Definitely Maybe' on May 19.

Former Oasis stars Liam Gallagher and Paul 'bonehead' Arthurs were mobbed by hundreds of fans when they paid a surprise visit to a new exhibition in honour of the band.
Chasing The Sun: Oasis 1993-1997 opens in London on Friday (11Apr14), 20 years after the hit group released its first single, and the organisers staged a preview event on Thursday (10Apr14).
Oasis frontman Gallagher and original guitarist Arthurs made an unannounced visit on opening night to check out the exhibits, but they missed most of the display because they were mobbed by fans on arrival and spent almost an hour posing for photos and signing autographs.
Arthurs tells Nme, "We didn't get to see (the exhibition) - we got f**king mobbed. But actually going in there with Liam and seeing what I did see was pretty emotional... We looked at each other and went, 'Is it really 20 years ago?' Mental, man - time flies... I'm glad we made the effort - we both said tonight that we're glad."
The rocker, who quit Oasis in 1999, said other members of the band, including main songwriter Noel Gallagher, are unlikely to attend, adding, "(Drummer) Alan White's in Spain, Guigs (former bassist Paul MCGuigan) couldn't make it, and Noel's recording, so we had to come really. It's good that some of the bandmembers made it. Liam is Oasis, so the fact he turned up and had pictures with people is great."

Blur bassist discusses Noel and Damon Albarn's newfound bromance
Alex James described Noel Gallagher and Damon Albarn as "best buddies" while appearing on XFM Breakfast with Jon Holmes this morning (April 10).
Holmes told the Blur bassist-turned-cheese-maker that he had introduced the pair onstage the night they played together at the Royal Albert Hall, leading James to reveal: "They've been, like, best buddies ever since."
Asked what he made of their friendship, James added: "I think it's a lovely, lovely ending. They have got quite a lot in common, and they obviously enjoy each others company. It's a nice way to end. I think I still annoy him a bit, but I really try not to!"
In this week's NME, on newsstands now and available digitally, Albarn reveals that making an album with Noel Gallagher is a "distinct possibility" in future.
"I still see Noel from time to time. We text a bit," Albarn says. When asked if the pair would be making a record together, he replied, "I can imagine that being a very distinct possibility at some point in the future. But, as yet we haven't really talked about it, although…"
Albarn continues: "OK we have a little bit. We're talking. It's not anything to get excited about yet. I mean, he's doing his thing. He's finishing a new record. I've got my record coming out, but the principle of us making music together is something…you know, it would be fair to say, we have discussed it at least once."
