I just found this online from The Independent last Sunday in a review (unnamed writer) of Oasis at Wembley and Alphabeat in Newcastle:

Oasis "make a noise which is worthy of the term "wall of sound", but it's a featureless wall: grey, municipal and concrete, with a "No Ball Games" sign in the middle."

"Alphabeat are six people who see capital-P Pop as something to believe in passionately, rather than a means to an expedient end. In the Popism vs Rockism war, Alphabeat are the anti-Oasis. They exemplify everything in this world that is pure and good and right, and if you hate them, you're the enemy."

Damn right.

That sounds like fighting talk, that does.
