It's written by leading music journalists Ted Kessler and Hamish MacBain, who have very close ties to the band and their management, and have interviewed the Gallaghers dozens of times. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e There has never been a definitive, forensically detailed history of Oasis and their music; a book that takes readers to the heart of the band's work and what lay behind it in the kind of deeply researched, knowledgeable detail that has been afforded \u003ci\u003eThe Beatles\u003c\/i\u003e, perhaps most notably with Ian MacDonald's \u003ci\u003eRevolution In the Head\u003c\/i\u003e, which examined every Beatles song in chronological detail. MacBain and Kessler's intention is to write \u003ci\u003ethe \u003c\/i\u003ebook that satisfies the many millions of fans globally similarly obsessed with Oasis's music, but who currently only have scattered social media pages to turn to add depth to the story. These authors deliver the definitive, chronological history of the songs of Oasis that will appeal to fans old and new, in doing so, bringing the wider Oasis story into play in glorious color. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The pair have interviewed both Gallaghers dozens of times between 1994 and 2024, and no other journalists can claim more--or more lively--encounters with Liam and Noel. The book will also revisit each interview in the first-person, chronologically throughout, to add unique perspective and texture to the wider story. MacBain and Kessle will also dissect sleeve-art with the designers and photographers, delving into each detail surrounding the band.

In between, he interviewed them more than a dozen times. Since then, he has written five Liam Gallagher cover interviews.
