Oasis (band)

Oasis were an English rock band that formed in 1991 and split in 2009. The two members of the band who were in the band from the time it formed in 1991 until the split in 2009 were brothers Liam Gallagher and Noel Gallagher. The brothers have an ongoing and public feud with one another, often fighting while the band was still together, and since the split have claimed to no longer speak to one another. See Wikipedia for more details about band members, the band's history, and the Gallagher brothers' sibling disputes.
The fandom is notable for the most popular ship in the fandom, both currently and historically, being the incest slash ship of Liam Gallagher/Noel Gallagher.
