Oasis — Dig Out Your Soul

in
By Jen White (CHARTattack) October 22, 2008 10:48 am
They might be the self-proclaimed biggest band in the world, but Oasis has fallen off the music radar. (What's The Story) Morning Glory? propelled them to major popularity in 1995, and while I remember a few singles from its follow-up, 1997's Be Here Now, that's pretty much when the Gallagher brothers began fading into the background on this side...

VFest Toronto Day Two

in
By Jen White (CHARTattack) September 9, 2008 1:58 pm
Day two of the Virgin Festival started out a little shaky as a light but annoying rain threatened to keep up all day. I got to the island rather painlessly this time, and reached the Virgin Mobile Stage just as Spiral Beach began. They played a pretty solid power-pop set for a bunch of teenagers on a pylon-littered stage, but their age shone...

Oasis Play To Their Strengths

in
By Noah Love (CHARTattack) March 21, 2006 5:30 pm
If The Tragically Hip, U2 and Pearl Jam didn't exist, Oasis would be the most popular rock band ever to touch down on Canadian soil. Even though their album sales have dropped off since 1997's disappointing Be Here Now, concert ticket sales for the band are as strong now as they ever were. But the real question on Monday night was whether the...

Oasis — Don't Believe The Truth

in
By Bryan Borzykowski (CHARTattack) May 31, 2005 11:15 am
When the rockin' Brit-pop of What's The Story (Morning Glory?) made its way around the world, the quarreling Gallagher brothers claimed they were bigger than The Beatles. If Noel had kept writing hits, their outlandish boasts may have come true. Well, that was 10 years ago and since then the band have become masters of the mediocre. On Don't...

Song Of The Day: Beady Eye's "The Roller"

in
By CHARTattack Staff (CHARTattack) January 25, 2011 1:36 pm
Well, well, well. Beady Eye's first single from the upcoming Different Gear, Still Speeding sounds mighty like post-Beatles John Lennon. Liam Gallagher's nasally drawl sounds more like Lennon's than ever, and this tune would definitely not be out of place on 1971's Imagine. Check out the video, which also has a Lennonesque vibe, here.

Beady Eye is ex-Oasis singer Liam Gallagher's new project, and "Bring The Light" is their first single. It'll be included on their debut album, which will come out sometime early next year. The group's sound is a mix of Oasis (obviously) and early '50s rock 'n' roll a la Jerry Lee Lewis. In addition to Gallagher, Beady Eye also includes former...

Now that Oasis are finished, done, and no longer exist, it's not surprising they've released this two-disc collection of all 27 of their singles that came out over the 15 years from 1994 to 2009. Some might argue Oasis stopped releasing truly great albums after Be Here Now (or heck, even earlier). And on Time Flies, it's quite easy to see the...
