WIRE BLASTS 'DEPLORABLE' SNOW PATROL

MANIC STREET PREACHERS rocker NICKY WIRE finds it difficult to understand how a band as "utterly deplorable" as SNOW PATROL can be so popular. Wire will be keeping his distance from Snow Patrol at the V Festival shows in Chelmsford and Stafford in England this weekend (18/19Aug07), which Manic Street Preachers are also playing. He tells website NME.com, "Snow Patrol is the biggest divide in Britain. They're probably the biggest band in Britain, but they're also the most hated. "It's a weird dichotomy for them. They are utterly deplorable, there is something unredeemingly utterly s**t about them, you just cannot put one's finger on. "It's a desperate form of music, the endless repeated lines, over and over, the same drab f**king little thing on and on and on. "They're the great losers turned into the great winners, that's their redemption. "I won't be watching them."
