A notícia é de ontem. Porém, devo admitir que não consegui escrever nada sobre isso a noite toda. O Noel Gallagher decidiu mais uma vez se afastar do Oasis, o que todos nós tememos – fãs da banda – é que essa saída seja pra valer.
The Fratellis é uma banda um tanto quanto recente, o primeiro show deles foi em 2005. Talvez por estarem juntos há tão pouco, os Fratellis tem apenas dois álbums. O primeiro, Costello Music, foi lançado em 2006 e, o último, Here We Stand em 2008.
Muitos já sabem que o Oasis não compareceu nesse último domingo ao V Festival devido a uma laringite que surgiu no Liam Gallagher.
Devo admitir que foi um tanto quanto complicado fazer a segunda edição do “Soltando o Som” sobre o Maroon 5. Primeiro porque os vídeos que eu achei no YouTube sobre a banda estavam com uma qualidade baixa, e acabei não encontrando até a que eu queria: uma versão ao vivo de Better That We Break. Segundo porque pouco conheço a banda, mas ao escutar algumas músicas deles hoje – algumas eu já tenho escutado faz alguns anos – achei que seria legal divulgar ainda mais o som desses caras.
