Friendly Fires say they are glad that Oasis have split up following news of the band's demise over the weekend.

News of Oasis' split emerged last weekend after the latest in a series of bust ups between brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher led to the latter finally walking away from the Manchester band.

Electro punk rockers Friendly Fires were speaking at Creamfields festival on Saturday just before their headline set on the Mixmag Terrace that evening.

"I'm kind of glad they're split up to be honest," said frontman Ed MacFarlane when asked about Oasis.

"They had two really great albums and it's been pretty dodgy ever since then."

Drummer Jack Savidge added: "Musically, they've been treading water for about the best part of a decade. So yeah, sod them!"
