Supersonic: Personal Situations with Oasis (1992 - 96)

Description

Supersonic: Personal Situations With Oasis (1992-96) charts the Manchester band's meteoric rise from the tiny venues of their hometown to playing to 250,000 people over two days in the Summer of 1996, as told by the fans and people who worked closely with the band during these formative years. The book features unseen photos and unheard stories as the authors Deabill and Snowball take the reader back to the nights of riotous gigs, Definitely Maybe, Oasis vs Blur, the mammoth-selling second album What's The Story (Morning Glory) and how over an eighth of the UK's population applied for tickets for the band's record-breaking gigs at Knebworth. Headed by the brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher, Oasis made guitars cool again, put attitude back in the charts and saw their music reach all four corners of the globe with swagger and style. This is the real story of the early days of rock and roll's last stand.

Stuart Deabill was born and raised in West London and has visited every pub and club in the area at some point. Being a longstanding member of the cult Musicfootballclobber has enabled Stuart to dress well, have good ears and a foul mouth for the best part of 35 years now. Stuart is married, lives in South Hetfordshire and is a season ticket holder at Chelsea FC. Ian Snowball was born and bred in Kent. He became a music fan at the age of eleven after buying That's Entertainment for 50p. He has a mixed taste in music that ranges from The Jam to The Doors, Northern Soul and Ska.
