Oasis

Oasis Records, founded in 1983 by musician and producer Alan McGee, emerged as a significant player in the British music scene during the late 1980s and 1990s. Initially part of the indie label movement, it gained prominence with the rise of Britpop, particularly through its association with the band Oasis, which McGee signed in 1993. The label became synonymous with the genre, producing influential albums like "Definitely Maybe" and "(What's the Story) Morning Glory?" that defined the era. In addition to Oasis, the label represented key artists such as The Verve and Primal Scream, contributing to the alternative rock and shoegaze movements. Despite facing challenges in the early 2000s, including the decline of Britpop, Oasis Records left a lasting legacy in shaping British rock music and indie culture. Its impact is felt in the continued popularity of its artists and the ongoing influence of the Britpop genre on contemporary music.
