Liam Gallagher, John Squire Lean Into Britpop on New Song ‘Mars to Liverpool’

Oasis' Liam Gallagher and the Stone Roses' John Squire have revealed details for their new album and the song "Mars to Liverpool."

Gallagher explained the collaboration as such: “I think the people that are into the Stone Roses and Oasis and that kinda thing, I think they’ll fucking love it.” And indeed, “Mars to Liverpool,” sounds like the middle of a Venn diagram between Oasis’ simple, poppy melodies — “Here comes that feeling,” Gallagher sings, “Here it comes again, I’m waiting for this storm to run out of rain” — and the Stone Roses’ swinging, Sixties-inspired guitar rock. In addition to the new single and “Just Another Rainbow,” which they released earlier this month, the record contains nine more songs that the former Oasis frontman and Stone Roses guitarist wrote together. Later this year, Gallagher will be on a solo tour of the U.K. and Ireland celebrating the 30th anniversary of what he calls “the most important album of the Nineties, bar none,” Oasis’ Definitely Maybe.
