Oasis & Libertines Manager Relaunches Iconic Label
Oasis, Libertines and Primal Scream Manager Alan McGee Relaunches Iconic Record Label
Infamous Oasis manager Alan McGee has joined the tirade of vinyl fans elated by the resurgence of record collecting in recent years. Now he’s ready to put out records again with a new division of his eminent record label ‘Creation Records’ called ‘Creation23’. It was 35 years ago that Creation records was launched. It trailblazed indie rock ‘n’ roll throughout the 90s to become one of Britain’s most iconic and successful independent labels. McGee added ‘23’ to the name as it’s his lucky number and signifies a new tangent for the label, vinyl only.
Setting the stage for the new venture is the North Essex trio Rubber Jaw with their single ‘Feeling Funny’. The track sits somewhere between dream pop and indie rock, opening with soft lilting melodies over pulsing synth chords and evolving into a riotous rock song with emotionally charge, harsh vocals. The band are in their early 20s and have been given the seal of approval by Alan.
