It's been quite the year for The Enemy. They played several summer festivals including T In The Park and two shows at Glastonbury, their debut album, We'll Live and Die In These Towns debuted at #1 in the UK and they played shows alongside such bands as The Fratellis, Kasabian and Manic Street Preachers. To round everything out, the band opened for The Rolling Stones at the O2 Arena in London. Not bad.
The Enemy play a brand of indie punk rock that is hardly innovative. But they do it well and the songs are quite good. Well that sounds like an understatement because tracks like 'Had Enough' and 'You're Not Alone' will get your energy flowing and have you singing the choruses on the top of you lungs, if you so please. The current single, 'We'll Live and Die In These Towns' was released on December 3rd and it is one of the best songs on the album. If anything, you should sample the band just for this song.
The Enemy are beginning 2008 right, playing a string of European dates before heading back to the UK for some more shows. Expect them at the Isle of Wright festival in June 2008 as well.
