A band originally formed by Darren Spiby in the UK during the late '90s playing Oasis anthems, when Spiby immigrated to Australia during the 2010s he gathered a new group of musicians to continue NOASIS.
With a live show that blends all the classic Oasis cuts with their own Britpop-flavoured originals, the Adelaide-based band features Spiby's son Tom (rhythm & lead guitar), Christian Tenser (drums), Phil Short (rhythm & lead guitar) and Tom Short (bass). After releasing their first original track, 'In The Shadow (Of Notre-Dame)', earlier this year, NOASIS return with their newest single 'Walk On'.
With simmering guitar lines, clanking melodic percussion, dreamy-hazy electronics, and a rhythm section that sounds like it's plugged in direct from a '90s Britpop jam session, 'Walk On' will appeal to bucket hat wearing geezers as much as lovers of guitar-based alternative pop.
"'Walk On' is inspired by the early years of my life in the UK and listening to bands such as The Stone Roses, Gorillaz and Sneaker Pimps," Tom Spiby says.
"I have a fondness for that period in my life, and the music around our home, and in my grandad's car.
"The song is about the pace of 21st century living and for me, the coming of age in a new country and a very different time of life."
Ahead of the song's release on Sunday (28 May), scenestr is thrilled to premiere 'Walk On' today. Enjoy.
The lads will be hitting the road for a run of Australian tour dates that kick off in July.
