The Enemy Criticise Arctic Monkeys Award Winning Antics - Tom Clarke Is Jealous!
The lead singer of The Enemy, Tom Clarke, has carried on his mission to garner publicity from slagging off other groups, and this time he has his eyes on Arctic Monkeys.
Not known for keeping his gob shut, and carrying on in the traditional role of shit slinger that we have come to know him as, Tom Clarke has ripped in to the Arctic Monkeys for being too successful at awards ceremonies.
The Arctic Monkeys have certainly been blessed in the awards department, having won too many to mention since they burst on to the scene a few years back. They recently won three NME Awards as well as a pair of Brit Awards for Best Group and Best Album.
Clarke commented on the wins by saying:
“It just shows The Brits and these other awards shows are spineless. It’s disappointing the Arctic Monkeys were given loads of awards.
“They only won so much because the bosses knew it wouldn’t offend anyone. These awards have turned into the Arctic Monkeys show. I suppose you can’t begrudge them one award.
“They have had one good album and one average one. But they haven’t done anything special this year.”
Ooh, put your claws away Tom, this isn’t meant to be a cat fight between the fluffy tabby and the next door neighbour’s pet pussy you know. Although if it was, I’d know which one you’d be.
This just stinks of professional jealousy as however good a band The Enemy are, and they’re pretty decent, they will always live in the shadow of the Arctic Monkeys to a certain degree: Very similar but just not quite as good.
