Is this news? etc.
Plus: the headline should really be "The Enemy get ratty" - he looks more like a rodent every time I see his ugly mug.

and a face everyone else wants to punch.

Can you imagine the offspring this piece of pikee poo would produce? I doesnt bear thinking about

Rev, Arctics, The Enemy ... all pants.

Death to pub rock.

because he will out-extreme you. 206 driving, kebab eating... fuxake.

to understand this ruffian.

so a band that actually are relevant to a lot of people, or a band that make brainless political comments such as 'fuck bush'. oh so you dont like bush do you? you fucking maverick.

i can do a decent impression of this guy, but i try not to incase the wind changes.

then we'll see how bands with this launch pad of hype really do.

...god, just FUCK this whole era of bullshit, phony "I'm just the man on the street telling it like it is" loser bands. I thought Preston was full of shit until Tom Clarke came along. Or Jon "not exactly Troy" McClure. Whenever I see his words in print I think "fuck, does he have Down's Syndrome or something?"

I'm not exactly Peterborough McHomeowner myself, but the idea that any of these bands represent me is insulting, and they can go fuck themselves.

remember POB ? this clart is a dead ringer for him, although POB wrote better songs from what I remember..

...That this doesn't mean I think Preston ISN'T full of shit, just that he's been topped by The Enemy for lowest-common-denominator fuckwittery.

no offense frank.

Like the singer from The View said his favourite album of the year was The Enemy's.

I mean seriously - you'd think no one else had ever had anything remotely like John Mclure's "vision" or "innovation" from reading that article. These sort of bands really, really fuck me off - Reverend and the Makers, The View, The Enemy - they all think they're doing something genuinely new and exciting, yet they pretty much emulate their influences exactly. I hate the whole "we're working class, honest" thing as well. These bands essentially just appeal to the lowest common denominator of lager boy mentality which is the odd lyric about working in a call centre and drinking 8 pints of Carling at the end of the day. Arrrrrrrrrrrgh.

Just 'cause I'm working-class DOESN'T mean I love Oasis. The Enemy are embarassing.

Of Reverend and the makers is from quite a nice part of Sheffield really.

are half their songs sung in Japanese until the chorus?

i'd smash his fucking face if i ever saw him. waste of human life.

Why doesn't he just be himself? I heard him on Radio 1 the other day and his entire attitude is a facade. I can tolerate their music, it's a shame he/they need to frigging grow up.

They're so far above shite like Hard-Fi it's untrue.

"But they were so good at Reading" - my friends say.
The anger boils up.

possibly the only time I would ever side with Alex Zane in an argument

Somebody bottle him......to death.

I am sure this has already been said but Seriously WTF! That 'We will live and die in these towns' song IS the retarded cousin of Going Underground. Paul Weller shouldn't just sue, he should time travel Back To The Future style and commit suicide at the age of 10 to prevent this shit from ever happening.
Also, I'd never have to hear the song Wild Wood. This really is a no lose scenario.

i...BEG your parDON?

I'm throwing him on my fire for warmth.

Your leg's come off? Put it back on you attention seeking poofter!

I think he might be the ugliest singer in indie at the moment.

He called the radio "the wireless", i think he might of done this interview over email. It seems a bit over thought out by a guy trying to mimick the appalling hairstyle that Paul Weller wears these days.

This guy's eyes are so wide apart, it's laughable! I've actually seen him sit on branches catching flies with his tongue before gigs. I hate the way he sings about how sh*t it is to work for a living, which is a reality facing most of the population. So basically, he's making us all realise how shit our lives are or at least will be... he's so inspiring. Artic Monkey, Hard-Fi, Rev and the Makers are all sh*t, these bands aren't the voice of a generation, they're the laryngitis on the voice of a generation.

'Owaoo owaoo only got one tune.' Tossers.

I'd take Dogs over The Enemy any day.
