Oasis Win Best New Band at The Brits
← Back to History

The award was presented by Ray Davies of The Kinks, a band that had significantly influenced Oasis's musical style.

The Brit Awards that year were dominated by Blur, who secured four awards, the most any artist had gained in a single ceremony at that time.

Oasis's win for Best British Newcomer was a significant milestone in their career, marking their emergence as a leading force in the Britpop movement.

Their debut album, Definitely Maybe, released in 1994, had been a commercial and critical success, becoming the fastest-selling debut album in the UK at the time.

The band's appearance at the Brit Awards was notable not only for their win but also for their characteristic demeanor.

Liam Gallagher's memorable walk to the stage and the band's candid acceptance speech left a lasting impression on the audience.

This event was a precursor to their continued success, with their subsequent album, (What's the Story) Morning Glory?, propelling them to international fame.

The 1995 Brit Awards remain a significant moment in Oasis's history, symbolizing their rise to prominence in the British music scene.
