Kaiser Chiefs frontman Ricky Wilson has intensified their feud with Oasis, joking about the Manchester band's record sales.

In August, Oasis' Noel Gallagher compared the Kaiser Chiefs to the Monkees, which prompted Wilson to remark about the timing of Gallagher's comments – just before the release of Oasis' new album.

Speaking to the Sun newspaper, Wilson admitted that he had “opened a can of worms” but didn't appear to want to settle the dispute.

“It’s like a game of tennis now and it’s showing no signs of stopping. But at least we’re selling some records,” he said bashfully. >{?His comment about the band's record sales follow Oasis' failed bid to top the UK singles chart on Sunday, eventually losing out to Pink and Kings of Leon.
