There are bands that burn bright and fade quietly. And then there are bands that explode so loudly the shockwaves never stop echoing. Blood Is Thicker Than Noise dives headfirst into the most infamous sibling rivalry in modern music history — the beautifully chaotic, endlessly combustible relationship between Liam and Noel Gallagher.From the council estates of Manchester to the biggest stages on Earth, this Netflix original documentary traces how two brothers with unmatched ambition, opposing personalities, and a shared musical genius built Oasis into a cultural phenomenon — and then tore it apart in real time. This is not just the story of a band. It’s the story of pride, class, fame, loyalty, jealousy, and the kind of love that only siblings can turn into open warfare.Through rare archival footage, unseen backstage moments, and brutally honest interviews, the film charts the rise of Britpop’s loudest voice. The swagger of Definitely Maybe. The world-conquering confidence of (What’s the Story) Morning Glory? The nights that ended in chart history — and the mornings that ended in silence. Every insult, every walkout, every shattered guitar becomes another chapter in a feud that fans know by heart but have never seen this close.What makes Blood Is Thicker Than Noise hit harder is its refusal to pick a side. Noel’s razor-sharp songwriting and obsession with control. Liam’s raw charisma, defiance, and unfiltered fire. Two forces pulling in opposite directions, somehow creating lightning every time they collided. The film shows how the same tension that fueled Oasis’s greatest songs also guaranteed its eventual collapse.But this isn’t just a nostalgia trip. It’s an examination of masculinity, ego, working-class identity, and the cost of global fame when it arrives faster than emotional maturity. As the years pass and the insults age into legend, the documentary asks the question fans still whisper: was Oasis doomed by brotherhood, or defined by it?Blood Is Thicker Than Noise captures the tragedy and the myth in equal measure — a band that could never exist without conflict, and brothers who may never escape each other’s shadow. Loud, unfiltered, funny, cruel, and heartbreakingly human, this is the definitive chronicle of music’s most famous civil war.A Netflix Original DocumentaryTrailer Out Soon
