Daily noise that works faster than any stimulant

26 January 2024

Super Manchester duo LIAM GALLAGHER and The Stone Roses‘ JOHN SQUIRE have their collaborative longplayer, simply titled LIAM GALLAGHER JOHN SQUIRE out on March 1, followed by a 13-date tour (see all below).

Daft album artwork designed by John Squire

Liam: “I think John’s a top songwriter. Everyone always bangs on about him as a guitarist,
but he’s a top songwriter too, man, no two ways about it as far as I’m concerned. There’s not enough of his music out there, whether it’s with the Roses or himself. It’s good to see him back writing songs and fucking good ones. The melodies are mega and then the guitars are a given. But I think even when you take all the fucking guitars off, you can play the songs all on acoustic and they’ll all still blow your mind.”

Following the lead-single, psych-pop treat Just Another Rainbow, we get appetizer number two. MARS TO LIVERPOOL is an equally easy-going tune, you’ll sing/whistle/hum along after a couple of spins. Both doing their familiar thing. Exactly what I expected, no more, no less, except for the daft artwork. Manchester rules, once more.
