Liam Gallagher has revealed that he hated the name Oasis.

Gallagher is currently working on new material with his former bandmates after his brother Noel decided to leave the group last August.

He explained that the new band will be on stage this year "without a doubt", but added that the group's name has not yet been decided.

"It's not Oasis," he told XFM. "That was a s**t name anyway. There's one that we're digging at the moment, but we're going to get on with the music and see how it goes.

"If we haven't got a better one by then, we'll go with the one we're into."

Gallagher is reportedly hoping to release an album by July.
