Enemy Rocking Like Oasis
The Enemy will emulate their idols Oasis by keeping it rock and roll on their new album.
They were hand-picked to support the Gallaghers’ outfit on their 2009 stadium tour.
And the Coventry trio got a huge big-up from Noel Gallagher, 41, when he declared: “I’ve liked The Enemy ever since I heard their first single.”
Now frontman Tom Clarke, drummer Liam Watts and bassist Andy Hopkins, all 20, are demo-ing tracks for the follow-up to No 1 debut We’ll Live And Die In These Towns.
Liam told me: “We’ve always been big fans of Oasis. They are normal lads who’ve always stayed true to themselves. That’s what we’re about.
“Just because guitar music has taken a dip in the charts lately doesn’t mean we’re suddenly going to start experimenting with electro or anything.
“We’re not going to change what we do best, like them.
“We’ve got about 30 new tracks that we need to fine-tune before going into the studio. The next album is going to be just as diverse but less polished.
“We wanted to get a raw, punkier feel to it, closer to the sound you hear when we play live.”
The lads are gearing up to headline Friday’s Freesports On 4 Freeze Festival at Battersea Power Station in London.

Oasis Fans Start To Queue For Tickets
"Mad for it" Oasis fans have started queuing for tickets to see next year's first-ever Stadium of Light concert, almost 48 hours before they're due to go on sale!
A limited number of tickets will be available from the club's ticket office when the doors open at 10am on Friday.
Pals Phillip Young and Chris McGowan, both huge Sunderland supporters as well as big Oasis fans, have made sure they're getting their tickets for next June's Wearside gig, which promises to massively popular.
"We've missed out on getting tickets before, we're not taking any chances!" said 25-year-old Phillip (pictured left), of Hylton Castle.
"I've tried getting tickets for Oasis at gigs up and down the country, without any luck, and I wouldn't miss this one for the world."
Chris, 22, also of Hylton Castle in Sunderland, couldn't believe his ears when he heard about the Oasis concert last week.
"I thought it was a wind-up at first," he said. "But then I knew it was true I was over the moon, there was no way I was missing out this time!"
Despite temperatures of around 8° Celsius overnight, Phillip and Chris are well prepared for two consecutive nights outside - they're well-equipped with a tent, sleeping bags, chairs, food and flasks of hot drinks.
The pair will have queued for 45 hours by the time Sunderland's ticket office doors open on Friday!
Oasis, who have sold more than 50 million record worldwide, will be supported by Kasabian and The Enemy in what promises to be a great night on Wednesday June 10, with all tickets going on sale from 10am on Friday.
The concert promoter would like to advise those purchasing tickets that they will receive an official voucher in the first instance which they will then need to exchange for a guaranteed ticket at a later date, once the actual concert tickets are forwarded to the club by the promoter.
These tickets are for in-person purchases only - bookings cannot be taken via telephone and will be limited to a maximum of four per household.
These are general admission tickets priced at £45 each and subject to a 10% booking fee for all card purchases.

Oasis To Cover Rolling Stones At BBC Electric Proms
Oasis to cover Rolling Stones at BBC Electric Proms
Gallaghers to enlist a 50-piece choir
Oasis plan to rope in a 50-piece choir to cover a song by The Rolling Stones at BBC Electric Proms this weekend.
The Manchester rockers headline the Camden Roundhouse on Sunday (October 26) for the third year of the London-wide celebrations.
Traditionally rock bands have hooked up with classical musicians for the shows. And Noel Gallagher has revealed that the band are planning to cover the Stones' classic 'We Love You' with the Crouch End Festival Chorus.
The guitarist told BBC 6Music that the plans sprang from aborted sessions for new album 'Dig Out Your Soul'.
"Out of all the songs on the album, there's two that didn't make it that have got a 50-piece choir," he said. "The original idea for this album was to record it with this choir in Abbey Road and for whatever reason it didn't happen.
"When we got offered the Proms, we called them up and said, 'I know we let you down last time but do you fancy getting up and doing a few tunes?' I think they're going to sing on a third of the set and we're hoping to do 'We Love You'."
Gallagher did not reveal whether the abandoned album tracks will get an airing at the show.

Our Guide To Cardiff
With Oasis set to play two nights in the Cardiff International Arena this week, this is stopcryingyourheartout.com guide to the wonder full city that is Cardiff.
Cardiff is the capital and most populated city in Wales.
As well as being the political capital, it's Wales's centre for business, education, sport, tourism, culture, media and government.
The city of Cardiff is the county town of the historic county of Glamorgan renamed later to South Glamorgan).
It was a small town until the early 19Th century and came to prominence as a major port for the transport of coal following the arrival of industry in the region.
Cardiff was made a city in 1905, and proclaimed capital of Wales in 1955.
During the past 10 years Cardiff has firmly established itself as one of the UK’s top tourist destinations.
Cardiff is a lively, engaging and cosmopolitan city with something to offer every visitor.
From top sporting events at the Millennium Stadium, to World-class stage performances at the Wales Millennium Centre, not to mention the UK’s biggest free outdoor summer festival, and home to Cardiff City Football club the list goes on...
Cardiff is regularly voted one of the best drinking destinations in the UK, little wonder, with over 40 pubs and bars in and around St Mary Street alone!
Historic and cultural attractions include the National Museum, Cardiff Castle, Castell Coch and the Welsh Folk Museum in St Fagans.
The central location of the Cardiff International arena means that the city centre is awash with fans before and after a big concert
Oasis first played in Cardiff on the 2nd June 1994 at the University city hall and have returned to the city numerous times since then.
Oasis last played in Cardiff at The Millennium Stadium on 10th December 2005, when they were joined with The Foo Fighters, RazorLight And The Coral for Noise & Confusion 2005.
Oasis return to the city to play The Millennium Stadium next summer on June the 12th with special guests Kasabian and The Enemy.
Current Bass player Andy Bell was born in the city on August 11th 1970 and stopcryingyourheartout.com was created in Adamsdown, Cardiff in 2004.

Oasis Has Sunderland Buzzing
News that Oasis are stopping off in Sunderland has excited local musicians.
Kenny Sanger, of The Bunker, and The Futureheads bassist Jaff, believe the Rock 'n' Roll Stars' announcement that they will play the Stadium of Light will put the city on the country's music map.
And they reckon it will inspire a generation of young musicians across Wearside to get out their guitars and start strumming.
"It's great news," said Kenny, who is behind Sunderland Music Forum (SMF). "I think for young aspiring bands and musicians to see big artists come to the city will motivate them and generate more interest.
Hopefully, that will filter down to some of the smaller gigs in the city."
Jaff, who is also involved with SMF, added: "I think this will give people a push to learn how to play instruments, and that's exactly what the North East needs.
"I think sometimes we miss out on these things. Travelling tours don't really stop off here and touring bands coming to the area will definitely inspire a lot of people, especially a band like Oasis."
Washington-born singer Martin Stephenson, who found fame with his band Martin Stephenson and the Daintees in the 80s, also welcomed the news.
He said: "Wow. On a basic level this will definitely really help things like tourism and the city's reputation nationally. I think it's great."
Last week, the band, who exploded on to the music scene in 1994 with Definitely Maybe and went on to sell more than 50 million records worldwide, announced they would play six open air venues across the UK next summer.
"This is great for the area," said Jaff, who plans to see Oasis, who will be supported by Kasabian and The Enemy.
"Often big bands miss out Sunderland, and Oasis could easily have gone to Gateshead or the Metro Radio Arena.
"It's great that they've chosen Sunderland because the more things that come into the area, the more people there are that want to be in bands."
Kenny added: "We have a lack of venues or established music venues that can attract bands like these so it's great to see the hard work people at the club have put in."
Coun Mel Speding, member for culture and leisure at Sunderland Council, said: "It's fantastic news for Sunderland that Oasis will play at the Stadium of Light and in view of our aspirations for Sunderland to develop as a music city, it's hugely important.
"A performance by Oasis in Sunderland will have a major impact, not just on fans of the band, but also on all young people in the city with a love for music.
"Congratulations to Sunderland Football Club and all those who have worked so hard to make this happen. Let's hope it's the first of many high-profile events to come.

Fizzing Performance By Champagne Oasis
As loyalty goes in rock ’n’ roll, it doesn’t come much more devoted than an Oasis crowd.
Checking for a moment the arms-aloft, mile-wide grinning mob singing along to Champagne Supernova during the band’s encore last night it’s hard not to hear it as a national anthem for a credit-crunched generation.
And while those glad smiles and wet eyes may have more to do with euphoric recollection these days than anything else, there were some emotional moments shared between thinning-haired men comfortable for once in their middle-aged spread.
Even as the venue does its best to suck the sonic subtleties out of a roundly accomplished set, the audience feels more like a football crowd than anything else – ready to go through the highs and lows as personnel come and go safe in the knowledge the object of their devotion will always be there with them.
And the latest to be clasped to the collective bosom, new drummer Chris Sharrock propelled the whole affair with reliably beefy beats. More flamboyant than his predecessor Zak Starkey, but never gaudy, he’s a class act that suits the more musicianly, groove-filled songs from Oasis’s new album Dig Out Your Soul and adds new dimensions to old favourites.
Talking of which, it’s the big hitters that inevitably get the biggest reactions. Opening with Rock ’n’ Roll Star – still the band’s inch-perfect statement of intent – the set unfolds like a recently updated family photo album. Lyla, The Shock Of The Lightning, Cigarettes And Alcohol, even the under-rated Meaning Of Soul from their previous album, Don’t Believe The Truth, are given a robust yet surprisingly agile treatment.
With Liam’s countenance divine still commanding constant attention, Noel looks studious to one side, possibly still feeling the effects of cracked ribs after being attacked onstage in Canada last month, while Gem and Andy stand implacable to the other, and keyboards wiz Jay Darlington makes telling contributions from the shadows.
The extensions to the timeworn Oasis sound can be found in the raga thrum of the Gem-penned To Be Where There’s Life and the rapturous chords of Noel’s Falling Down, while Liam’s heartfelt Outta Time travels well from record to stage.
At times some of the older tunes (Wonderwall, Songbird, Slide Away) sound unwieldy, but a truly awesome Supersonic closes the set before the band reassemble for a touching acoustic take on Don’t Look Back In Anger and we’re sent buzzing into the night after a ravaging assault on I Am The Walrus just like the way they used to do it.
And only a fool would bet on them being any less supersonic tonight.

It was closed down last Friday on suspicion of fraud.
Consumers who purchased tickets from the site have been advised to contact the government's advice service Consumer Direct for more information.
Those who used credit and debit cards to buy their tickets may be able to obtain a refund from their card issuers.
Sinead O'Connell, 26, bought tickets for Kings of Leon at the beginning of October.
"I went onto Paperticket, and it looked like it was all okay," she said.
"It showed exact seats and they said they'd send an email confirmation of the purchase.
"I didn't receive anything. The money has come out of my account.
"I was really really worried as I hadn't received any email from them and no tickets have arrived."
Representatives for Paperticket were unavailable for comment.
However, a message on its website read: "On 16 October, the Metropolitan Police Service's Computer Crime Unit requested the dehosting of the www.paperticket.co.uk website under the Proceeds of Crime Act.

On This Day In Oasis History...
"Lord Don't Slow Me Down" is a song by English rock band Oasis. The song was released as a download-only single on October 21, 2007 in promotion of the release of Oasis' rockumentary of the same name, Lord Don't Slow Me Down. On October 29, the song debuted at number ten in the UK Singles Chart, becoming Oasis' 21st UK top 10. It is also their 21st top ten single in a row. It is also the first single by Oasis not to reach the top 4 since 1994's Cigarettes & Alcohol.
In October 2006 the first part of the song was used in a preview of the band's movie. Written and sung by Noel Gallagher and recorded during the Don't Believe the Truth sessions, Gallagher described it as being "one of the best things, like The Who, The Yardbirds and the Jeff Beck Group combined, and it's got two drum solos on it!" The entire song leaked into the internet just a few days before the video was uploaded on YouTube and the song was played on the radio, on 1 October. The song was a probable track to be included on the band's last album, 2005's Don't Believe the Truth, but was removed from the final track list by Noel Gallagher, as he thought he sang on too many songs on the record. In May 2008 an unreleased studio version with Liam Gallagher on lead vocals was leaked over internet fansites.
This song is included on Dig Out Your Soul bonus CD.
Track Listing
1. "Lord Don't Slow Me Down" - 3:17
2. "The Meaning of Soul" (Live at City of Manchester Stadium '05) - 2:32
3. "Don't Look Back in Anger" (Live at City of Manchester Stadium '05) - 5:38

Dannii Minogue Shuns Noel Gallagher's 'X Factor' Feud
Dannii Minogue has insisted that she isn't interested in extending her feud with Noel Gallagher.
The Oasis lyricist last week slammed the X Factor judge, saying that she "wouldn't know talent if it kicked her in the a***".
Minogue suggested to Closer that Gallagher's comments were a publicity stunt.
She said: "I think he's just looking for publicity! I'm hoping he said it as a joke - I hate celebrity feuding!"

Liam Gallagher Joins The Choir
Oasis are often criticised for being as adventurous as a bunch of six-year-olds at the salad bar — so it's surprising to learn that their latest collaborators are a group who have previously grappled with the sounds of Britten, Glass and Stravinsky.
This afternoon, fresh from last night's show at Wembley Arena, the Gallagher brothers will be joined on stage at the venue by 50 members of in-demand choir the Crouch End Festival Chorus. It's their only full rehearsal for a special show at the end of the month, part of the BBC Electric Proms season, that will finally see the band doing the unthinkable and trying something a bit different.
The Electric Proms have nothing in common with the Albert Hall pomp of the real thing, but since 2006 they have hosted some fascinating concerts that encourage rock bands to be a bit more experimental. Oasis were asked if there was another band they would like to work with, or if they would prefer to be joined by a choir.
Perhaps inspired by Crouch End's backing of Kinks star Ray Davies during last year's season, they opted for the choir.
Last week a dozen members met Noel Gallagher and guitarist Gem Archer in the Muswell Hill front room of Steve Markwick, who has been charged with arranging choral parts for six songs in the finale of the gig. They thrashed out ideas for taking old favourites such as Don't Look Back In Anger and The Masterplan to new heights of singalong elation. “Noel seemed really delighted with the beauty and power of the sound,” CEFC musical director David Temple tells me.
Also planned are a couple of compositions by Liam, presumably including his much-praised ballad from the new album, I'm Outta Time. Most excitingly, they'll sing on an overpowering climax of the band's traditional Beatles cover, I Am the Walrus.
“They do this extended cadenza at the end which is mindblowing. We're hoping to do some surreal improvisation in there, lots of different noises, like a collage of dreams,” Temple says. First they suggested throwing in a blast of Handel's Hallelujah chorus at the peak but that was rejected in favour of Beethoven's Ode to Joy.
It sounds like a lot of fun for a choir that has a reputation far weightier than the occasional pop collaboration would suggest. The night before the Oasis show, all 140 members will be singing Bach's Mass in B minor at the Barbican. On 1 March next year, again at the Barbican, they perform a major premiere — The Tension of Opposites by Chicago composer Matthew Ferraro.
CEFC began life in 1984 performing mainly in Hornsey Town Hall and are now known for being game for anything. They'll soon be heard singing on a collection of reworked Kinks classics by Ray Davies, the new album by Welsh opera babe Katherine Jenkins and the soundtrack to a forthcoming comedy horror Britflick, Lesbian Vampire Killers.
But for now, it's the Oasis gig that they're looking forward to. “I love Liam Gallagher's voice,” Temple asserts with passion. “He can hit top As that a classical tenor would die for.”
Oasis are at the BBC Electric Proms at the Roundhouse, NW1 on 26 October. Apply for
£5 tickets in a ballot at www.bbc.co.uk/electricproms.
