Oasis formed in the early 90’s in Britain and the band vowed to each other to not settle for mediocrity in any way regarding their live performances or their albums. They rehearsed extensively for a solid year before hitting the British club scene in 1994. With no manager, agent, demo or money, they were heard live by Creation Records, Alan McGee and he signed them on the spot. On April 11, 1994 Oasis released their first single, “Supersonic” in the UK and for all their loyal fans it became an instant hit. Their live shows were a constant buzz in the underground club scene and that energy helped them make history with their debut album, Definitely Maybe. Definitely Maybe was the fastest selling debut album ever on the British Charts and was slowing climbing it’s way up the US charts as well. It went past triple platinum with ease and sold more than 2 million copies worldwide.

In 1995, their reputation hit the US and Oasis concert tickets sold-out within 30 minutes across the US and the rest of the world. The fans were not disappointed when it came time to see the show and they were set up for the release of their next album, (What’s the Story) Morning Glory, which debuted number one on the British charts and number 5 on the Billboard charts. Their second album began hitting number one across the world and the demand for Oasis started looking like modern-day Beatles frenzy. Trouble, however; was just around the corner as infighting among band members forced them to cancel the remainder of their US tour and left a bitter taste in fans’ mouth. But Oasis continued to stick together despite their differences and came out with two more albums, Be Here Now and Masterplan. Both albums did not have the same effect as their predecessors and people began to fear that Oasis was going to just fade away amidst their conflicts. They managed to switch out their guitarist, after he left the band, and continue on with recording two new albums, Heathen Chemistry and Don’t Believe the Truth.

Currently Oasis has been touring periodically and they still manage to sell out their shows. There is a sense of anticipation that they will break out from their internal turmoil and make the music that their enormous worldwide fan base knows they are capable of, but until that happens; they have plenty of classic Oasis music to keep them going for quite some time.
