The Enemy's Tom Clarke has published a fairly lengthy and expletive-filled Twitter rant after a Time Out journalist described his band as "subtlety-deficient indie gnomes."

The singer was tweeted a photo of the magazine's preview of his band's forthcoming UK tour with The Twang, which said: "'Away From Here' is exactly where we'd like subtlety-deficient indie gnomes The Enemy to stay, but no: they're coming to London soon on a UK tour ahead of album number four."

It continued: "Even worse, daft Burmmie bellowers The Twang are the support act. Can someone put a bullet in indie's head already? Welcome back? God, no."

In response to the review, Clarke declared, "If I had a pound for everytime [sic] a journalist called me a hobbit I could buy enough bullets to round them up and disfigure the lot of them."

He also said a lot of other angry things, which you can read for yourself below, including the wonderful comeback, "Do me a favour and get yourself a life transplant," which we will be using ourselves from now on.

The Enemy will be taking a break from recording their upcoming fourth album for the dates, while fellow Midlanders The Twang will be promoting material from 2013's N E O N T W A N G.
