About this listen

 In the electric haze of 1995 London, where Britpop anthems blare from every pub jukebox and the Oasis vs. Blur chart war divides the nation, Susie Howard and Tom Riley are on a collision course as fierce as their rival bands. She’s a Camden record shop clerk armed with cherry-red Doc Martens, a sharp tongue, and an unshakable devotion to Blur’s sardonic wit. He’s a scrappy guitarist for The Vibe Merchants, all Gallagher swagger and Oasis-fueled dreams, strumming anthems in sticky-floored dives. When a moshpit mishap at a Blur gig sparks a battle of barbs and basslines, their clash ignites a love story as raw and unpolished as a B-side classic.

From the neon-lit chaos of Camden’s pubs to the muddy euphoria of the 1996 Reading Festival, Susie and Tom navigate a scene where music isn’t just a soundtrack, it’s a lifeline. Their romance is a mixtape of soaring highs and jagged lows: late-night arguments over Parklife versus Definitely Maybe, stolen kisses under festival lights, and confessions scrawled in zines and setlists. As The Vibe Merchants chase a break and Susie’s art finds its voice, they confront the skips and scratches of love, betrayals, breakups, and the fear that the song might end before it’s finished.

But in a world of flannel, feedback, and fleeting fame, can two hearts stay in tune? With a cast of dreamers, glitter-dusted ravers, zine-making poets, and chain-smoking bassists, Vinyl Vows is a love letter to Britpop’s feral glory, to the music that shaped a generation, and to the moments that make us choose the hidden track. Spanning smoky gigs, Spice Girls-fueled rebellions, and a bittersweet epilogue thirty years later, this is a story of rivalry, redemption, and the defiant hum of static hearts that refuse to fade.

Perfect for fans of High Fidelity and Daisy Jones & The Six, Vinyl Vows: An Oasis vs. Blur Love Story is a standalone romance in the Soundtracks of Our Love series, where music and love collide in the grooves of history’s greatest eras. Turn it up, let it spin, and fall in love with the noise. Romantic Comedy Heartfelt Witty Romance
