The Fratellis have launched a scathing attack on Razorlight frontman Johnny Borrell and The Kooks.

Writing a column in today's Daily Star newspaper, the Scottish band revealed they couldn't contain themselves when hearing Razorlight's music.

"We were driving around London and 'America' came on the radio and for some reason, who knows what, we all burst out laughing at precisely the same time.

“But Johnny Borrell is a cock,” they added.

The band were equally relentless with The Kooks, saying “their music is fucking awful."

The bands comments come on the eve of their performance at this weekends Reading and Leeds Festivals.
