Rising indie star Jake Bugg has continued to war with X Factor boyband One Direction, claiming that they 'don't have a clue music wise'.
 Speaking at the NME Awards – which were held in London's Troxy last night – Bugg once again took digs at 1D, suggesting that they weren't a real band – and even calling one of them ugly!
He told ITV News: "I don't know how they can really be considered a band, though to be honest. I'm not too sure. I think the more I play on it, it'll wind them up.”
He went on to insult them further, after being asked by the reporter if he thought the group's global domination would continue.
”They're there to look good. Music wise? I assume they don't really have a clue. We'll just see. They might do. Probably the ugliest one is the best singer. He might know a couple of chords".
The new remarks come after Bugg's initial comments – which saw him describing 1D as 'terrible' – and the group's response, with Louis Tomlinson tweeting 'Hi @JakeBugg do you think slagging off boy bands makes you more indie ?”
The fresh feud is shaping to be one of the most entertaining new battles in the music industry, and is made even more interesting by One Direction's marmite status – and their rather intense fans. Who's side are you on? Let us know in the comment section below.
