Bonehead talked about Liam Gallagher and John Squire joint album saying that it’s “very good”.
The former Oasis guitarist co-hosted the Bonehead’s Christmas Day Show with Toby Tarrant on Radio X. He revealed that he had listened to the new project with his former bandmate and The Stone Roses guitarist.
Bonehead talked about Liam Gallagher and John Squire joint album saying that it’s “very good”.
When asked if he had heard their new material or was involved, he said:
“I’m not involved in any way, but I’ve heard it. I’m not going to say anything. I’ll keep you all in suspense. I won’t say if it’s this or that, but I’ve heard it from start to finish, and I’ll let you keep saying, ‘Go on, tell us, tell us, tell us’.”
He added:
“It’s not for me to say. I shall leave it to him.” Then he let slip: “It’s very good.”
The news comes after the duo confirmed their album and the first single, Just Another Rainbow, will be released on January 5, 2024.
The psychedelic-infused track is available for pre-order on 7” vinyl and pre-save online.
John Squire commented on the single:
“The most obvious take on Just Another Rainbow is disappointment—you never get what you really want. But I don’t like explaining songs. That’s the listener’s privilege. It can mean whatever you want. To me, it’s also one of the most uplifting tracks we’ve made, which is weird.”
Liam Gallagher added:
“John is a top songwriter. Everyone talks about him as a guitarist, but he’s also a great songwriter. There’s not enough of his music out there, whether with the Roses or solo. It’s great to see him writing again. The melodies are amazing, and the guitars are a given. But even without guitars, the songs would sound incredible on acoustic.”
The duo has also teased a full-length album, which originated from John‘s performance at Liam‘s Knebworth shows in 2022. After that reunion, they started working with daily recording sessions.
A press release states:
“Liam arrived at John’s Macclesfield studio, promising to complete vocals for two demos per day. He kept that promise, and soon they had a catalog of incredible songs. Then, they went to Los Angeles for three weeks with producer Greg Kurstin, who played bass on the record, with Joey Waronker on drums (Beck, R.E.M., Atoms for Peace). They found a natural musical connection, as if they had always been a band.”
If that wasn’t enough to excite fans, the Manchester legends have hinted at more to come, including possible tour dates.
Meanwhile, Bonehead will join Liam Gallagher on the “Definitely Maybe 30 Years” tour, where they will perform Oasis’ debut album and B-sides from that era.
He said:
“It’s going to be incredible. I can’t wait. There are songs I can’t wait to play again, like Up In The Sky.”
