The ‘Bring The Light’ singer said he reckons his new
band’s ‘Different Gear, Still Speeding’ can easily match the genre defining
1994 debut recorded by his former band, which propelled them to superstar
status.
He told NME magazine: "The musicians are better than at the time of 'Definitely
Maybe', without a doubt.
“I'm singing as well as I ever have."
He added the album is "up there, no question"
with 'Definitely Maybe' and declared the band are “gonna be f***ing
massive".
Beady Eye formed on the ashes of Oasis - who split after
Liam fell out with his brother, the band’s main songwriter, Noel Gallagher last
summer – and sees Liam joined by ex-Oasis men Gem Archer, Andy Bell and Chris
Sharrock.
Gem has previously described recording their debut album
with producer Steve Lillywhite, who has previously worked with The Rolling
Stones.
He said: “Steve Lillywhite was a ball of energy and made
us focus and work really quickly. It was that vibe again of trying to create a
proper debut album - and that's exactly what I think we've done. It sounds
exciting."
‘Different Gear, Still Speeding’ will be released on 28th
February 2011, and the band embark on a small, sold out, European tour in
March.
