A1 Sick Of Fight With Five

British boyband a1 are sick and tired of the "war" with fellow boyband Five. The lads are annoyed by comments made by their pop rivals in the past.

Mark says, "We never had anything against them, but when they almost personally start knocking the music there comes a time when you have to say, 'Shut up!' cos it gets silly."

Ben adds, "Events that have happened in our lives recently have made things like that seem really pathetic. There are much more important things in life than slating other people. People should just concentrate on the music they're doing."

In a final swipe at Five, singer Paul says, "If they do want any songs written for them they can always come to us!"

The group have also revealed a little about their forthcoming third album -- they are going to opt for a rockier sound.

The lads are set to release the LP - the follow up to "The A List" - and list Prince, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and The Doors as their reference.

The band's Mark says, "All the writing that we've been doing behind the scenes as of late has had more of a rock pop orientation, especially from Paul. He's probably the biggest rock fan I know."

The foursome have chosen the first track from the album as their next single but don't have a finished title yet. -- WENN
