Modern Music Masters - Oasis: Almost everything you wanted to know about Oasis, and some stuff you didn't... (MMM) Paperback – September 8, 2020

In this fascinating book my Tom Boniface-Webb, he does an excellent job of summing up Oasis’ place in the Britpop and wider music scene. I learned things about the band that I didn’t know, I was reminded of things I had forgotten, and there was an excellent balance between exploring Oasis’ rise and fall, as well as in the context of the music scenes that pre and post-dated Britpop, including Manchester’s ability to produce one genius after another for quite some time.“Modern Music Masters – Oasis” is exceptionally well written, where there’s just enough factual content and commentary to keep it all moving along swiftly. I’m long past caring about Oasis now, but that didn’t make the reading any less captivating. More than anything, Boniface-Webb allowed me to take a walk through the wider Britpop memory lane, and I enjoyed my journey very much. If you were part of the Britpop scene, even if Oasis aren’t your favourites, you’re sure to gain much from this insightful overview of the ‘90s scene. And I’m sure the other books in this series will be just as good.

Informative, well written and a delight to read. The way the author imparts his detailed and interesting knowledge and information is so easy to read. I cant wait for the next one in the series.

This Modern Music Masters book on Oasis offers a concise and straight to the point history of the band. Basing its analysis on chart performance and album/single/EP releases. The book also takes an opportunity to explore the social surroundings of the band and trends in British music. Oasis's heyday was obviously in the 1990s, so the book's focus draws to this era, but it doesn't skim past the later post-2000 work and even comments on the solo material of the Gallagher brothers. Short, sweet and essential.
