Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds unveiled a new single today, “We’re On Our Way Now,” which the always quotable songwriter dubbed as “a taste of the future-fan-favorites to come.” It’s from the ex-Oasis member’s Back The Way We Came: Vol 1 (2011-2021) greatest hits set to release on June 11 via Sour Mash Records, and also features […]
Oh, brother. It’s been more than a decade since Noel Gallagher quit Oasis famously before the band was to perform Paris’ Rock En Seine on August 28, 2009.
