"Ride were recording in late ’93, early ’94, and that’s when I first saw them and we heard the tape. I heard Bring It On Down, and to me it sounded like The Jesus And Mary Chain. I didn’t think Beatles or Sex Pistols or anything; I heard Mary Chain first, and then everything else afterwards.

It was like, Oh yeah! Pop songs and distortion! The fourth Ride album, which happened after that, where we sort of fell apart in the studio and split up, I was really trying hard to put all the distortion and energy back into it again.

The sound of Oasis is like a big rhythm guitar... a solid wall. If you play a bass line that takes it away from the frequency you hear in the rhythm guitar, then you’re playing it wrong. If the drums get away from a piledriving beat, then you’re doing it wrong as well. It all should sound like it’s got a forward momentum.

Sometimes it can be slow like a juggernaut or a battle-ship, and sometimes it can be fast like a Lamborghini, but it’s the same intense, driven sound. When you’re getting a song together, if you do it a shade too fast, you lose all the menace of it. If you do it just that bit too slow, it gets really evil, and that’s good. With the music, Liam and Noel both go on instincts.

Even though Noel’s more patient and takes more time with things, and Liam is more living in the moment, they’ve both got the same instincts, and they trust them all the time".

Cast’s John Power On Passing The Torch To Oasis And Getting It Back

I’d met Noel when he was working with the Inspiral Carpets and they opened for The La’s. When I left The La’s, I went to see them play in Manchester, kind of to make peace with it all, really. 

I was having a smoke and a bit of a moment, and this little lad came bouncing over and asked us to give him a toke. I said, “I’m just having a bit of a moment, mate, do you mind?” About three years later I went to see Oasis and Liam came straight over to me and was like: “You told me to fuck off!” It was Liam! 
We had a laugh about it, then I went to see Noel and played him the demos for Cast that I’d recorded that day, and he loved them. One of them was [1995 track] Sandstorm. He asked us if we’d open for them. It was opening for Oasis at The Venue in New Cross that got Cast signed by Polydor. 

From Irvine Beach to Knebworth, we’ve been there.When they announced the Oasis shows there was a lot of talk about who was going to support. We’d come off the back of the Liam shows and there was a lot of gossip flying around but I’d made my peace with it. As they say, don’t put your life in the hands of a rock’n’roll band. I wasn’t expecting it, but when we got the call to open for them it was amazing. It’s beautiful to  be part of it.

Bono Says Noel Gallagher Is 'Shocked' At How Good Oasis Are Sounding In Rehearsals

No comments


Bono has said that Noel Gallagher is “shocked” at how good Oasis are sounding ahead of their Oasis Live '25 gigs.

The sold out tour starts in Cardiff on July 4th.

Speaking to Zane Lowe for Apple Music 1, and said how he thinks both Liam and Noel had an unmistakable impact on the indie music scene.

“I love them. I just love them. And what I really love is, the preciousness that had gotten [into] indie music, they just blew it out. There was just the swagger, and the sound of getting out of the ghetto, not glamorising it.”

He added “They’re both funny. I’m still very close with Noel, and he sent a message to me saying he’s kind of shocked by how great the band is [sounding at rehearsals]. I think we’re going to have a good summer.”

“I remember what they did. Those big guitars, big Neil Young [inspired], generous sounds – they were against the law in the UK. But they were like ‘No, I’ll do what I want’. They had this rhythmic, beautiful quality to them… and Manchester was very influenced by dance music, so they were groovier than anybody, they were rawer than anybody.”

Songbook: A Review Of One Of The Best Oasis Books To Come Out In Years

No comments


Oasis books are like buses, you wait for one for ages then about 19 come along at once. Such is the euphoria felt across the UK and beyond that every couple of weeks it seems there's a new Oasis book coming out at the moment. This book; 'A Sound So Very Loud, The Inside Story of Every Song Oasis Recorded' caught my attention early on when it went on pre-sale. I loved Mark Lewisohn's book of the complete Beatles recording sessions, and hoped it would be something similar. The result penned by Ted Kessler and Hamish MacBain is in the end, much more than a simple chronicle of the Oasis songbook. It's a biography set to the chronology of each and every song the band released, with the authors somehow finding legitimate musical and/or cultural significance in every song they put out.

Kicking off with a re-print of their WhatsApp messages when first discussing the book, and their excitement at hearing the rumours of a reunion for the first time, the book intersperses the inside story of Oasis' back-catalogue with recollections of the writers' experiences interviewing the band during their time as music journalists. Mixed with genuinely revealing stories about the songs (a lot of anecdotes even for me were new), there's a journalistic foundation to the cultural insights connected to many of the releases. It's genuinely fascinating to see how the 90s and 00s progressed with Oasis reflecting the changing foundations of politics, technology and culture, and in some cases earlier on in their career, causing it. 

Setting a biography to the timeline of a band's releases is a great way of refreshing a story that's well told by now, and whilst there are plenty of recollections familiar to a lot of Oasis fans (Noel visiting Downing Street, told via Magic Pie, or the Blur v Oasis story, told obviously through the release of Roll With It), there are so many nuggets of revelations from their interviews, or from digging through the archives. There's a lot of insight on recording sessions, and several of-their-time influences on songs I had no idea about, for example how The Beta Band were a massive influence on Go Let It Out. 

I suspect a fair few Oasis biographies this summer will be £2 in FOPP by Christmas so i'd hold out on most of them, but this is certainly one worth buying early for a good summer read.

Will there be a second volume?...

The book is out on July 3rd 2025 and is available from here and here.
