Download Don't Stop... (Demo) Ringtone

About The Artist

After Oasis broke up in August 2009, YouTube footage emerged of Noel Gallagher performing a new, unknown song during a soundcheck while on tour in Hong Kong that year.

Another partial recording of the song from a Paris date of the tour was further proof of the song’s existence.

Noel Gallagher has unearthed and shared a demo for the lost Oasis song “Don’t Stop.”

“Like the rest of the world I’ve had infinite time to kill lately so I thought I’d FINALLY look and find out what was actually on the HUNDREDS of faceless unmarked cd’s I’ve got lying around in boxes at home,” Gallagher wrote on social media Wednesday. “As fate would have it I have stumbled across an old demo which I thought had been lost forever.”

Gallagher added of the track, “As far as I’m aware there is only one version of this tune ‘out there’ from an Oasis soundcheck in Hong Kong about 15 years ago? I’m not sure whether the soundcheck version pre dates the demo as there’s no date on the CD. I know some of you love this tune so we thought we’d put it ‘out there’ for you to enjoy/argue over.”

Oasis were an English rock band formed in Manchester in 1991. Developed from an earlier group, the Rain, the band originally consisted of Liam Gallagher (lead vocals, tambourine), Paul Arthurs (guitar), Paul McGuigan (bass guitar), and Tony McCarroll (drums). Upon returning to Manchester, Liam's older brother, Noel Gallagher (lead guitar, vocals) joined as a fifth member, which formed the band's core and settled line-up. During the course of their existence, they had various line-up changes, though the Gallagher brothers remained as the staple members until the group's dissolution.
