E-17 star challenges Take That

E-17 singer Brian Harvey has claimed that his band could give Take That "a run for their money".

Harvey's band, which is currently recording new material, believes they have the potential to compete with their '90s boyband rivals.

"We could give Take That a run for their money. We don’t have our original lineup, either, so we’ve got something in common," he told The Sun.

On the subject of a recent leaked demo called 'F*** That', he added: "I think the backing track is quality, man. The lyrics were us trying to be as controversial as we could.

"We even looked up f*** in the dictionary to see what it meant. We were the rebels of the music industry so we wanted to write a rebellious song."
