LIAM GALLAGHER Vinyl & CDs

Review: Anyway, here's... Knebworth 22, the latest live album from Liam Gallagher, renowned British singer-songwriter and former frontman of Oasis. 15 tracks of Gallagher's solo originals are heard after being recorded live at the Knebworth Park in England on 3rd-4th June, 2022, including 'Wall Of Glass', 'Shockwave', 'Once' and 'All You're Dreaming Of'. Of course, it wouldn't be the same without the inclusion of a great many Oasis classics, not least 'Rock 'n' Roll Star', 'Wonderwall', and 'Champagne Supernova'. Also a celebration of the 25th anniversary of Oasis' legendary concerts at the very same Park in 1996 - which were attended by over 250,000 people each night - the album is available on yellow vinyl 2xLP with a poster and a replica ticket.

Review: There's almost no point writing about this one - an album that already has legions of disciples waiting to embrace it, with pretty much everyone who knows the names Liam Gallagher and John Squire guaranteed to be interested in what their self-titled LP is about. More so, without even hitting play we all kind of know what it's about, with two of the biggest names to come out of Manchester's 1990s indie rock breeding ground coming together for a record that sounds every bit the sum of its parts. Squire's incredible guitar playing - a centrepiece of The Stone Roses' sound - is incredible as ever, sending riffs soaring over the dilapidated rooftops of North West England and out into the stratosphere. Meanwhile, Gallagher's elongated but gruff vocal style remains steadfast across ten anthems-in-the-making. Powerhouse stuff, but like we said, nobody expected less.

Review: The upcoming collaborative studio album between Liam Gallagher and guitarist John Squire is set to shine a refreshed light on the current state of Britpop. Consisting almost entirely of round-bellied rock, leading the charge is the arresting 'Just Another Rainbow' - here the pair are heard in neat unison, painting a picture of unfazed Gallagher-esque nonchalance in the face of a promised utopia - and 'Mars To Liverpool' - concerning the experience of realising a relationship is over before it's too late. Squire and Gallagher make for an exciting pairing, their synergy fleshed out by the album's stellar, full-bodied mix.
