The K's frontman Jamie Boyle believes Oasis reunion has rescued guitar music
The indie rocker feels that the long-awaited return of the Live Forever band has reignited the scene and has led to a "resurgence" for bands.
Jamie told the Daily Star newspaper's Wired column: "The resurgence of bands is really, really strong and prominent at the minute.
"We see it ourselves, in ticket sales, the support at gigs, and the buzz whenever we announce something to our ever-growing fan base. People are genuinely chomping at the bit to get into venues and watch bands again."
The K's were able to see Oasis as they started their reunion tour in Cardiff and will also be in attendance for one of Noel and Liam Gallagher's gigs at Wembley
Jamie said: "We went to Cardiff and were like, 'This is amazing'. Then Heaton Park was even better and we're heading to Wembley too.
"It's impossible to ignore the buzz that's been created for guitar music and it's no secret that they're one of the best to ever do it, but the buzz that Oasis has created not just for themselves but for everybody is real.
"All the excitement, all the press, all everything is back on guitar for the first time in a long time."
Boyle explained that he has been watching the Gallagher brothers closely as he seeks inspiration from the pair's stage presence.
The musician said: "There's 80,000 people there and every single one of them is just stood not being able to take their eyes off them on stage.
"To get to that level is what everybody dreams about."
The K's release their new album Pretty On The Internet on Friday (25.07.25) and Jamie is hoping it tops the charts after their debut record I Wonder If the World Knows? narrowly missed out on the number one spot last year.
He said: "I genuinely feel like we can do almost anything now."
Jamie revealed earlier this year that he cites Taylor Swift and Olivia Rodrigo as musical influences and questioned those who restrict themselves to a single genre.
He told ContactMusic.com: "I'm constantly listening to new stuff and always exploring new genres and things like that. And I think one thing that surprises people is if you look at my playlist, I think people would be very surprised, because it goes from The Beatles, like '60s Beatles, through to like, '70s, '80s, punk, and then all the way through to like, like modern day pop music, like Billie Eilish, Taylor Swift, Olivia Rodrigo, people like this.
"People are far too quick to put themselves into one box, or one genre, and just be like, No, that's what I like. Everything else is s***. And it's like, if you actually sit down and listen to stuff, I think, like, if you give it the time, you may end up finding something you like in it."

Oasis fan plunges to his death ‘from upper tier' of Wembley stadium during reunion gig
Don't miss out on the headlines from Music Tours. Followed categories will be added to My News. An Oasis fan tragically plunged to his death during the band's reunion gig at Wembley. The man – aged in his 40s – was understood to be sitting in the upper tier of the stadium as the Gallagher brothers performed to a sellout crowd on Saturday. Police and paramedics rushed to the gig but he was pronounced dead at the scene, The Sun reports. The highest stands in the 90,000-seat venue are some 170ft above the ground. One fan, who was sitting in a lower tier, described watching medics try to revive the tragic fan after he hit the concrete. She wrote: 'I was directly underneath in section 211. At first glance I thought it was a coat falling from the above tier but then I looked and saw the bloke on the concrete. It was horrific to see.' The band's sellout shows come as part of their long-awaited reunion tour. iIcture:Jordan Pettitt/PA Images. The Met Police confirmed that officers at Wembley responded to reports that a man had been injured at 10.19pm, where they found the casualty with 'injuries consistent with a fall'. They urged anyone who witnessed the incident or who may have unknowingly caught it on their mobile phone to get in touch. The police are expected to inform the Health and Safety Executive which could launch a probe into the death. Saturday's gig was the fourth of seven London shows on Oasis' blockbuster reunion tour.

The Britpop icons returned to their hometown of Manchester for five dates in July. They performed a 23-song setlist of classic hits, including Wonderwall, Don't Look Back in Anger and Live Forever to a roaring crowd of 80,000 people at Heaton Park.
