In 1994 a group of five lads from Manchester took on the world with their unmistakable brand of rock 'n' roll. Fifteen years later in 2009 it was all over, leaving an imprint on British music that will be felt for generations. The story of Oasis is the story of northern solidarity, of indie-rock 'n' roll, and most importantly, of two brothers.
Drawing on interviews with those close to the band, 'Modern Music Masters – Oasis' aims to throw new light on one of British music's signature groups. With a close focus on the group's chart placings – including their eight Number 1 albums and eight Number 1 singles – this book is ideal for those looking for a new angle into a familiar story.
