Manchester’s Evolution In Music!

One of our latest new designs available at TShirtGrill shows off a brilliant timeline of Manchester’s music scene – all within a 15 year period! To start, we go back to 1980 with Joy Division and frontman Ian Curtis. The Salford-based group actually formed in 1976 and sadly came to a premature end after Curtis’ passing in 1980. The remaining members of the group later on in the year went on to form New Order, which would lead to even more success for the next decade plus. In 1985, we... Read More

The creator of the VR system (OASIS) is James Halliday, who recently passed away. Before he did,... Read More

Some Might Say: The Best Britpop Band Ever!

The important debate that will probably never die: Which Britpop band was better – Oasis or Blur? We’ve already looked at – and discussed – the latter of those two earlier this year when they released “The Magic Whip” back in April. But today, on Liam Gallagher’s 43rd Birthday, we look at the Mancunian group Oasis. Formed in 1991, the group was developed from a previous band called The Rain (named after a Beatles B-Side track) who’d got together earlier that year. When Chris Hutton was replaced as lead singer... Read More
