My guess would be Liam, but I haven't been able to find anything concrete. Anyone know?

My guess is Gem. Think it has a The Roller vibe. But yeah, could be Liam as well.
Some journalist or fan reporter should ask about the B-sides when they get to talk to the band.

I think Liam because of the ending, it screams Liam
Don't reckon WOMR was him though; lyrics suggest Andy to me

I think it was Liam, find it hard to imagine Andy "lookin' for trouble"

I'd say:
ITBWAB: Liam TOAK: Liam WOMR: Gem (but I'm really not sure about this one)

I would rather not know. I hope they stop letting us know and begin to collaborate to they point that it would be useless separating them.

WOMR = Andy TOAK = Liam ITBWAB = Gem I think you're spot on. But like GD says, I hope the collaboration increases, it can only be beneficial.

gdforever, I agree that all of them working together would be the optimum, but they have said that isn't how they work. ITBWAB is a curious one though, the repetition of 'we do what we want' etc screams Liam, but some of the earlier lyrics do sound more Gem style. Perhaps this one really was a collaboration.
TOAK however sounds 100% LIam, and I agree Andy seems the most likely candidate for WOMR.
An interviewer really needs to drop one of their endless Noel questions and ask about these though, especially now they are all in the setlist.

World Outside my Room is so good too. I hope they move toward that direction kinda like Sticky Fingers Rolling Stones era. Can't imagine Liam giving up the Rock though or even toning it down and maturing. I think Noel has been one of those rare artists that mature gracefully. Like Neil Young or John Lennon. Not Paul McCartney. Haha

On the first Live From Abbey Road thing the band did in one of the interview bits there was the following conversation:
Interviewer: This record sounds much more like a rock n roll band than a rock band.
Liam: Without a doubt, rock's horrible innit.
Andy: We're a shoegazing band.
Given that Liam and Andy have produced the better songs of the bunch and therefore look set to be the main writers for the band, I think that's an interesting snapshot of the writing sensibilities that will be informing it. Liam wants to rock, but is clearly willing to express a softer side too as tracks like For Anyone have shown (in fact his writing is often stronger on this sort of stuff) and Andy is looking to revitalise his Ride shoegazing style.
Interesting times ahead, especially as the songs written after the album was recorded (WOMR and ITBWAB) seem to be some of the strongest and best received.

Andy is looking to relive his shoegazing days? He's not doing a very good job then, is he? More Hurricane #1 than Ride.

Yeah, we know from magazine articles. Four Letter Word: Andy Millionaire: Andy The Roller: Gem Beatles And Stones: Liam Wind Up Dream: Gem Bring The Light: Liam For Anyone: Liam Kill For A Dream: Andy Standing On The Edge Of The Noise: Gem Wigwam: Liam Three Ring Circus: Gem The Beat Goes On: Andy The Morning Son: Liam Wow, the Gem songs really are the duffers on the album. The Roller is probably the best of his contributions, and that's just a massive Instant Karma rip-off.
