The last time I got to see Liam Gallagher, it was at Reading Festival. After he sang a set entirely made up of Oasis songs, and after weeks of chatter surrounding a reunion, the band confirmed what everyone had been waiting for: a full-on Oasis reunion.
Oasis changed my life. It sounds dramatic, but it’s true. I got into them as a young teen, and the music spoke to me like nothing I’d ever heard before. As a British Indian growing up in West London, my childhood was soundtracked by diverse genres, but guitar music was not one of them. My mum listened to Indian music and ‘dad music’ meant something entirely different to me. My dad listened to dub reggae, funk and house music. I didn’t discover rock bands until I was 12 years old.
