New Music: Liam Gallagher – Beady Eye – “Bring the Light”

12 Nov

Well that didn’t take too long, Liam Gallagher and a few members of Oasis (aka all but Noel Gallagher) are back as Beady Eye. Thanks to New York Magazine for the tip on “Bring the Light” the first tune from the new rock band. Not overly convinced just yet but it’s catchy and some good clean rock and roll. You can download the track for FREE on their website here.  Two cool things to note about Beady Eye, Jeff Wootton from Gorillaz sits in on bass and the full length studio album is being produced by music wonder Steve Lillywhite! So yeah, I’m excited and can’t wait to hear more.
