Oasis Supersonic

Supersonic was written and recorded in a single day at the Pink Museum Studio in Liverpool, on 19 December 1993. Guitarist Noel Gallagher claimed he wrote the song in half an hour, while his studio colleagues were taking a break from recording to eat a Chinese takeaway. Rather than joining them, Noel remained in the studio backroom working on his guitar riff and finished writing before they returned.

“Supersonic” has been classified as a rock, Britpop, and alternative rock song, with elements of neo-psychedelia and American grunge music. It contains Blur-like vocals, “brief but smashing” guitar riffs and “catchy melodic” chorus. The basic rock rhythm of “Supersonic” is reminiscent of early 1970s music. The song’s cascading guitars are influenced by the Sex Pistols’ 1977 song “Pretty Vacant”, and also draw influences from bands such as the Who, the Rolling Stones, the Beatles, and the Stone Roses.

This is David O’Brien’s homage to one of the UK biggest bands, Oasis.
