Oasis "Columbia" There's a common perception that Oasis are dumb and unimaginative, and I suppose a lot of their public behavior and later catalog justifies that judgment. But in the first few years of their career, particularly in the Definitely Maybe period, Noel Gallagher was a very sharp and clever songwriter. He's good at writing a sticky melody, sure, but his true genius was in crafting a distinct sound that signaled a very working class conception of glam debauchery. The guitar parts on Definitely Maybe put a shoegazer gloss on familiar progressions, [...]
As his name suggests, Matthew Frost is kind of frosted, and it's probably why he's such a crafty film maker. Midway between Wes Anderson for his scenery taste and Woody Allen for his silly sense of humor, he likes to create a "conversation" relating his characters to the spectators. His last video, called "Fashion Film" [...]

Following the untimely demise of The Smiths , guitarist Johnny Marr did something quite rare for a burgeoning star of his level - he became anonymous. That's not to say he truly disappeared, but instead of capitalizing on his star power like Morrissey did, Marr quietly pulled a reverse- Jimmy Page and became a session musician. His work saw him play with a who's who of bands, including The Pretenders , [...]
Everybody watches the Academy Awards, right? Except for me, of course, because I'll be stuck at work AGAIN, just like I am on every other Sunday of the year. I missed the Super Bowl last month. I missed the Grammy's (not that I cared, but it's the principle of the thing!), I'm going to miss [...]

My Bloody Valentine: MBV - When I first listened to MBV , my first reaction was that it was the sensitive man’s White Pony by the Deftones. White Pony being the only Deftones album I’ve ever heard because it was the only one deemed " Buzz Worthy " by MTV. Basically, what I’m saying is that the music features wall of sound style distorted guitars and a lead singer with a penchant for falsetto howling. Now, that comparison isn’t great it’s just where my simple mind [...]

So you've got to ask yourself how a band that's putting out consistently fine music and pulling in accolades from press and radio alike, still aren't quite finding their place in the hearts of the Scottish music buying public. Calm As The Colour from The Kingdom of Fife are such a band and whilst they've only been together just under two years they've garnered compliments and airplay from the luminaries of Scottish radio and beyond. [...]
Noel Gallagher ha formado equipo para presentarse en Dubai con Richard Ashcroft, el ex líder de The Verve.
1995 fue un año decisivo para la historia de la música, el britpop era el género que reinaba y por lo tanto se comenzaba a hacer popular en todo el mundo.
Este post hablará de esas parejas que sin ser amantes han cambiado la historia de la música, de esos dúos que han aportado algo más que una bonita historia de amor, porque desde mi opinión si eres Sid Vicious hubiera sido mejor tener a Johnny Rotten a tu lado que a Nancy, Kurt Cobain a Courtney Love o Lennon a Yoko.

Quando Noel Gallagher escreveu a canção Slide Away em 1994, que faz parte de Definitely Maybe , álbum debut do Oasis , Jake Bugg estava nascendo. E na sessão da rádio BBC que aconteceu na terça-feira, dia 12, uma das bandas mais amadas e odiadas da história da música ganhou uma singela homenagem no melhor estilo folk. O menino prodígio da cena musical britânica – e apadrinhado por nada menos nada mais que o próprio Noel –, pegou seu violão e criou uma bela versão para [...]

"Danny Lackey, a wonderful person and influential figure in the shoegaze music scene passed away on Monday 28th January after a battle with cancer. Danny gave so much to the community, all from the love in his heart and his passion for music. As co-founder of the When the Sun Hits blog, he offered aspiring (and seasoned) musicians exposure to thousands of people. What’s more, he was a fantastic musician himself and his band Deepfieldview is about to release an LP. As with any illness, the financial strain can be crippling. Danny’s friends have put together a [...]

By Oliver Nugent In the current climate of the northern music scene, making a name for yourself has become a task of Everest proportions – but a task which Folks have nevertheless achieved through the endless talents of their six members. Emerging from the prestigious but privy elevation of being ‘Manchester’s best kept secret’ , Folks have ascended apace in the last couple of years, and now seem sure to taste the heights of the bands to which they assign their loyalties - none more so than Oasis. But unlike many [...]
Que inventen otros. Y que conste que no lo digo como crítica: prefiero un acierto no demasiado original, que una originalísima equivocación. Sí, es una mentalidad muy conservadora, pero ni creo que el " Back To Black " de Amy Winehouse sea un mal disco, por el horrible pecado de no haber inventado el soul , ni creo que haya que reprochar a esa camada de chavales que lanzan sus propuestas mirando al retrovisor. Gente de 22 años, como los Foxygen. O de 18, como Jake Bugg. El primer prejuicio a la hora de valorar el [...]
¿Qué se necesita para hacer un disco de época? ¿Solamente se necesitan buenas canciones? Para Damon Albarn no es suficiente incluir dos o tres canciones que se conviertan en clásicos al pasar de los años, Damon siempre ha visto más allá, su intención es crear temas que además de convertirse en notables composiciones, sean innovadoras, en alguna entrevista para la NME dijo “si el punk era sobre deshacerse de los hippies, entonces yo me voy a deshacer del grunge”.
Leather Jacket Love Song by The Cribs Is there a better way to bring in the new year than with a cracking new song from one of the finest bands ever? Well, new might be the wrong word. It was the last song recorded as part of the Wakefield trio's sessions with Johnny Marr for their LP entitled Ignore The Ignorant. But after playing it live more than a couple times, finally, the long sought after studio version has been released. Sadly, the end of The Cribs is looming. They've stated that they [...]
I know what leaves you unable to sleep at night. Why, you wonder, why did Robbie Williams ever fall out with Oasis? Wonder no more . Indeed, if you will, Wonderwall no more. Gordon has the answer: ROBBIE WILLIAMS says he fell out with OASIS in the Nineties because he wasn’t “mod” enough. Really? Not being mod enough for Oasis is a bit like not being gourmet enough for Charlie, The Little Chef. But Robbie, it seems, is convinced - why, how could he hope to fly so close to such a [...]

What do you get when you cross The Ramones and The Killers with Oasis and The Beatles? Four piece St Helens band Stillia of course. Their musical roots range from 50's and 60's music to the likes of The Killers and the aforementioned Oasis. They've gone through a few line-up changes of late but seem to have settled down and the current line-up of Jack Bennett - lead guitar/vocals, Connor Moran - guitar/vocals, Dave Sarbutts - bass/vocals and Matty Bennett on drums/vocals. [...]

By Danielle Shields January 30, 2013 There are not many bands whose debut album has had the power to automatically present themselves as who they are and to cause a stir in the music industry. It might not have been The Beatles' Please Please Me or The Clash ’s debut of the same name, but Definitely Maybe by Oasis was the album which summed up the mood of the 90s. Unfortunately, I wasn’t even born when this slideshow of definitive tracks first [...]
