In the 90’s, alternative music made seismic shifts to culture and music with Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Green Day, Weezer, and the Smashing Pumpkins but across the Atlantic, the UK had their own titans of sound who fell under the banner of ‘britpop’ with rolled-over fresh takes on classic rock influences. Two bands stood at the top of the heap: Oasis and Blur. This well-crafted documentary from Trash Theory breaks down the rivalry between the two English bands and how they barbed with each other during one of the biggest periods for rock music in England and the world.
