Formed by Liam from the ashes of Oasis along with bandmates Gem Archer and Andy Bell, the band released two albums together to mixed reviews from fans and critics. Their last, BE, was released in 2013 to a largely lukewarm response. Brother Noel Gallagher however, is gearing up for a massive arena tour and release of second solo album, Chasing Yesterday.
