Sam Fender’s brother Liam has quipped that they’d “make the Gallagher brothers appear to be f***ing Jedward” in the event that they shaped a band collectively.
The North Shields singer/songwriter – who launched his debut EP ‘Love Will…’ final month – admits he and the ‘Seventeen Going Below’ hitmaker are very “cussed” and would probably bicker at one another just like the arch-nemesis siblings, Liam and Noel, whose backstage bust-ups led to the demise of Oasis in 2009.
Liam informed The Solar newspaper’s Weird column: “We’ve carried out little bits and collaborations right here and there, but it surely’s by no means been within the remit that we might be in a band or something like that.
“We’re each so concerned in our personal tasks we wouldn’t have a second to consider it.
“We’re too cussed anyway, artistically there could be a battle for the large concepts.”
Liam even thought of releasing his music beneath a pseudonym to keep away from comparisons along with his brother Sam Fender.
He’s conscious that his music goes to be in comparison with his youthful brother, indie famous person Sam – who he joined on stage for the primary of his two sell-out concert events at Newcastle United’s stadium St James Park in June – and he did ponder utilizing the title “Emerald Fin” on his data to forge his personal path on his musical journey.
When requested how he feels concerning the unavoidable comparisons to Sam, he mentioned just lately: “It’s a humorous one. It’s like something, it has benefits and drawbacks as nicely. I’m in a novel place the place I really feel there’s a sure stage of expectation that different artists placing one thing out at this early stage won’t face. I feel we’re fairly completely different artists anyway. However it’s what it’s.
“Whilst late as the center of final 12 months I used to be toying with going beneath a pseudonym. However I’d already constructed a following by gigging for that lengthy, and doing my factor beneath my title, so I simply felt it’s what it’s and I’ll put it out beneath that title.
“The closest I acquired was Emerald Fin, which is an anagram of Liam Fender, that’s the peak of my creativeness proper there. I kind of toyed with it after which I used to be like these are songs that I’ve written for me, they arrive from an actual place, sod it.”
