Liam Gallagher: “Indie music is a disease”

The former Oasis star Liam Gallagher has launched an attack on indie music. He told Esquire that he can´t stand listening to “nonsense”.

“I really despise this new f**king disease of indie f**king shit, f**king student music, the likes of Bloc Party and all that f**king nonsense,” he said. “They do not keep me awake at night, but it’s just s**te, and they can f**king have it, mate.”

Gallagher also complained that musicians don´t take enough care over their appearance. “The thing is, man, you can make your clothes look like they´ve been worn in and look as if they´ve had a bit of character, but underneath you´ve got to have a f**king wash,” he remarked. “Those f**kers wear the clothes all the f**king time and they don´t wash, so it´s like, “Where’s the f**king bench?””

“I’ve heard plenty of bands that can write a decent enough tune, then you see them and I go, ‘Thank f**k, they look like s**t’. If you look good and you’ve got the tunes, you’re away, man,” he added.
