"Radio and music in general is fucking appalling at the moment, half these so called artist can't come back with a second single let alone an album of substance. It's all cool for five minutes then on to the next.... there are no career musicians in the charts at the moment."
"The closest thing is Coldplay, and although I do like their latest song, they have been churning out tired middle of the road impressions of themselves for a decade now."
"Why is nobody brave enough to make a great album. A record that can define a time? That can say what we're all thinking? Seriously? I got mildly excited when I heard the first Vaccines song, then they followed it up with a song about scuba diving equipment."
"People are so out of touch it pains me. I've still got the kitchen and bathroom to decorate but looks like we'll have to save music again ;) (the last tweet was half in jest. Only half mind."
"My 'save music' comment was completely tongue in cheek. Out of context - looks horrendous. I didn't take it out of context, other people did. However, I genuinely think the British music charts are a disgrace. They don't showcase British guitar music, and there is too much talent for radio to ignore. Somebody needs to do something to address it."
"Now what I was saying, is we're going to work our bollocks to try, and I'm sure there are many bands who are going to as well, and who are more than capable of doing so, and who I hope will! We're all in the same game, the same boat - bands can either stick together now and make a difference, and make the charts a more interesting place or they can bicker and divide fans."
"Personally, I wish every band the best of luck next year, because there is room for lots of them. Ultimately, people need to lighten up. It's not that I shouldn't be saying it, it's that every band should, and we should all be saying that together, we're all going to save music from the X Factor infested dribble that bothers the charts now days."
"We are working very hard, to try to make a difference. And I adore my fans, and ALL fans of proper music, whether they like The Enemy or not. Because really, at the end of the day, only they have the power to decide what is massive. Not radio, not the press - certainly not me. All I do, is try to do my job to the best of my ability, and listen to my fans, and my critics, because I care what people think."
"I hope that next year is a great year for us and that many other guitar bands return, and new ones break through. I want to save music and I want other bands to too. We all do! Then we can turn on the radio and dance our heads off all year long!"
