And After All

“And After All is a wonderfully original way to connect to the history of Oasis: from the viewpoint of Oasis fans. Reading about the fans’ commitment to getting to see the band live or buying memorabilia feels like the best kind of celebration of the legendary band. These are stories of lifelong dedication and love.” —Fred Armisen, actor, comedian, and musician“This book shines a light on the fans who helped make (What’s the Story) Morning Glory? and Be Here Now global hits and two of the most iconic albums ever made. Oasis had the songs and the fans helped make them huge. Great to have a different perspective on the story of Oasis.” —Nick Brine, recording engineer of What’s the Story, Morning Glory? and Be Here Now“This is a book about and for Oasis fans, (of which I’m one) but it’s really a book for anyone who is a fan of anything, for anyone who has felt the pull to be front row at a show or stand in line at a club.” —Jill Furmanovsky, Abbey Road ICON Award-winning photographer
