The legendary Britpop band Oasis are in the crosshairs as we discuss their career; their music and the personalities behind it as well as their place in the pop music landscape of 2024 following the announcement of their reunion. Delving through controversial interviews, loudness wars and dynamic pricing scandals it’s time to figure out if they will ultimately land themselves in ROCK JAIL!
Dan Whitell and Tom are joined by special guest - Chart Music podcaster, music journalist and author David Stubbs - as we give our thoughts on their impact in the last 30 years.
