A Sound So Very Loud

This instant Sunday Times bestseller is the definitive book about the music of Oasis, published as the reunion tour was making headlines around the world. A deeply researched tribute to the creative talent and star power of the Gallaghers, A Sound So Very Loud is 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' 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, Kessler and MacBain bring this story to life in glorious colour.

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