Saw The Enemy on Sunday night at Brixton. Very good the new material seemed promising and they did focus mainly on the old favourites Lots of sing alongs and a bit football crowd ish. Easy to be cynical about The Enemy but they are relevant and great crowd pleasers and their hearts really are in the right place I think.
Extract fron recent NME Review
Tom dedicates the final ‘You’re Not Alone’ to the redundant heavy-industry workers, it’s clear that The Enemy’s message of keeping your chin up through sour times is only going to be more prescient given what’s happened since they first broke out. What’s not yet clear is whether this is what people want from rock’n’roll at this point, or whether it should – as Eagles Of Death Metal would say – make you forget your job, whether you’ve got one or not. If they’ve judged the mood right, though, The Enemy are about to have one brilliant recession.
