Sam Fender‘s brother, Liam has said that if they were in a band together, they’d “make the Gallagher brothers look like fucking Jedward.”Speaking to The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre column, the singer said (via Female First): “We’ve done little bits and collaborations here and there, but it’s never been in the remit that we would be in a band or anything like that.He continued: “We are both so involved in our own projects we wouldn’t have a moment to think about it.

We’re too stubborn anyway, artistically there would be a battle for the big ideas.”Liam, who released his debut EP ‘Love Will…’ last month, went on to admit that both he and his brother are very “stubborn” and would very much bicker at each other the same way that Noel and Liam Gallagher did while in Oasis.He recently joined his younger brother Sam onstage during his two sold-out nights at Newcastle’s Cathedral on the Hill, to duet on Bruce Springsteen’s slow-burning 1984 classic ‘I’m On Fire’.A post shared by Daniel Caddick (@danielcaddick)As a way to attempt to avoid comparisons to his BRIT award wining brother, Liam revealed that he considered releasing his music under a pseudonym.

He contemplated using the name “Emerald Fin” on his records to forge his own path on his musical journey.“It’s a funny one. It’s like anything, it has advantages and disadvantages as well,” he said about the unavoidable comparisons to Sam. “I’m in a unique position where I feel there’s a certain level of expectation that other artists putting something out at this early stage might not face.

I think we’re quite different artists anyway. But it is what it is.”He continued:“Even as late as the middle of last year I was toying with going under a pseudonym.
