Available in two editions, with cover photographs by Jill Furmanovsky and Roger Sargent.
Feeling Supersonic is a compendium, a celebration and a roadmap to the remarkable career of Oasis: including never-before-seen coverage of Britain’s most notable band of the past three decades. This is a love letter to Oasis and the bands, parties, clothes and city that made them.
The book is split into two parts. Act I covers the Madchester scene that defined them. It features contributions from lan Brown, New Order, Reni, Happy Mondays, Pulp, Primal Scream, The Farm, John Squire, and many more. There is an early encounter with Oasis in 1994, appearances from lesser known but equally loved names such as Rob Gretton, Paris Angels, Intastella and World Of Twist, and exclusive writings on Manchester's undisputed number one street fashion label, GioGoi.
Act II reconnects with the same scene following the epic reformation of The Stone Roses, culminating with Liam and Noel as never seen before. Liam is captured on these pages stellified in the white-hot heat of Knebworth 1996. Noel talks, exclusively, about his spiritual awakening during the early 90s Acid House club and rave scene in Manchester.
Please don't put your life in the hands of a rock 'n' roll band? Too late for that now.
