Supersonic: The Complete, Authorised and Uncut Interviews

Prepare for a riotous and utterly captivating ride through the eye of the Britpop hurricane with Supersonic, Oasis's own exhilarating account of their improbable ascent from dive-bar hopefuls to bona fide global superstars. As The Daily Telegraph aptly puts it, this is "an entertaining first-hand account of pure rock 'n' roll madness," a sentiment amplified by The Sun's description of "hundreds of exclusive photos and brilliant one-liners" making for a "sensational read."

And who better to narrate this whirlwind than the Gallagher brothers themselves? Noel's characteristic swagger and unwavering self-belief, perfectly encapsulated in his quote – "We are the biggest band in Britain of all time, ever. The funny thing is, all that fucking mouthing off three years ago about how we were going to be the biggest band in the world - we actually went and did it" – sets the tone for a story brimming with audacity and undeniable charm.

Supersonic plunges headfirst into the pivotal early years of Oasis, charting their trajectory from the moment Noel Gallagher joined his brother Liam's fledgling band. Through over thirty hours of candid and often hilarious interviews with Liam, Noel, and their inner circle, the book documents their phenomenal rise with unprecedented depth and their trademark Mancunian wit. We're taken right into the heart of their journey, culminating in the landmark, era-defining gigs at Knebworth Park in 1996 – the undisputed pinnacle of their stratospheric success.

This isn't a dry, academic history; it's the Oasis story, unfiltered and unapologetic, told in their own inimitable voices. The exclusive photographs and ephemera peppered throughout the book offer a visually rich and intimate glimpse behind the bravado and the anthems. Supersonic is a joyous, often chaotic, and utterly compelling testament to the raw power of belief, the unbreakable bond (and occasional explosive friction) between two brothers, and the sheer, unadulterated thrill of becoming one of the biggest bands the world has ever seen. If you ever wondered what it was truly like to be at the centre of the Oasis phenomenon, this book delivers the answer with swagger and style. It's a proper rock 'n' roll yarn, spun by the blokes who lived it.
