Oasis - Oasis Slammed By Bloc Party

British rockers OASIS have come under fire from newcomers BLOC PARTY as they prepare to release their eagerly anticipated sixth studio album.

Oasis guitarist NOEL GALLAGHER has hailed his band's upcoming disc as their best work since debut album DEFINITELY MAYBE - but their POSITIVE TENSION rivals brand Oasis' distinctive sound "lazy".

Drummer MATT TONG says, "I always thought they were really lazy and unambitious."

While guitarist RUSSELL LISSACK adds, "Looking back they wrote some good pop songs, but I remember at the time really detesting them."
