A Sound So Very Loud

Resumen del libro

This is the first and definitive book about the music of Oasis, written by two insiders and published in time for the reunion tour. A Sound So Very Loud is not only a deeply researched tribute to the generational creative talent and star power of the Gallaghers, it is also crammed with unknown detail and the kind of anarchic, brilliantly funny anecdotes that only Oasis could generate.

Music journalists Ted Kessler and Hamish MacBain first met Liam and Noel in 1994, when the brothers were playing tiny venues, and have since interviewed them dozens of times, tracking the astonishing success of Oasis as they became one of the biggest bands in the world. In this comprehensive telling of the Oasis story through their spectacular back catalogue, Kessler and MacBain focus on the enduring power of the music, exploring the tales behind the lyrics and revealing the background to the writing, recording and impact of all the songs, from megahits like 'Live Forever', 'Wonderwall', 'Don't Look Back in Anger' and 'Champagne Supernova' to the fan-favourite B-sides and deep cuts such as 'Acquiesce', 'The Masterplan' and 'Half the World Away'.

With their unique perspective on all things Oasis and their numerous encounters with the band over the years, they bring this story to life in glorious colour.

A Sound So Very Loud is a book every Oasis fan needs on their shelves, destined to be as timeless and as moreish as the music itself.
