Bloc Party's Kele hits out at Oasis

The lead singer's comments come after Liam Gallagher compared Bloc Party to a "band off University Challenge".
Okereke told Uncut: "Why is it bad to better yourself? It is really daft to reinforce the idea that there is something cool about being dumb."
He went on saying that he considered Oasis to be highly overrated despite Gallagher's comments being quite funny.
He said: "It probably would have been a lot more funny had he not used exactly the same words to describe Travis a couple of years ago.
"They claim to be inspired by the Beatles but, and this so saddens me, they have failed to grasp that the Beatles were about constant change and evolution."
