21/07/09: The Enemy @ iTunes Festival  The Enemy supported the mighty Oasis at the iTunes Festival in London tonight (21/07/09). The event was being held at the Roundhouse in Camden and Tom Clarke encouraged fans to get involved saying, "This is a rock 'n' roll gig, not a tea party!" The iTunes crowd responded by singing along to 'Away From Here' and Tom was clearly enjoying the atmosphere as he said, "That is a bit more f**king like it London."
Tom later asked fans if they were looking forward to Oasis to which he said in response, "You sound half asleep, you need to get some f**king beer down ya!" The crowds cheered louder and were in fine voice during 'We'll Live And die in These Towns'.
There was a special shout-out to XFM radio as Tom dedicated 'Happy Birthday Jane' to them saying, "Thanks to XFM, who backed us from the very early days." Another loud cheer went up as Tom thanked Oasis for having them as support, with that the final track was performed and Oasis took over as the next performers at the iTunes Festival.
Noel Gallagher told XFM that The Enemy went down a storm on their recent tour and he enjoyed their music, having bought the first album. When asked about the press reports about the 'fallout' between Liam and Tom Clarke, he said that "Liam had nothing to Twitter about", showing that there was nothing to 'fallout' about with The Enemy.
The Enemy performed:
Had Enough
Aggro
Away From Here
No Time For Tears
Sing When You're In Love
This Song
Be Somebody
We'll Live And Die In These Towns
Happy Birthday Jane
You're Not Alone

13/07/09: The Enemy Gig For Charity Workers  Fresh from their support slot with Oasis and Kasabian in front of 50,000 people at Wembley, The Enemy return to Manchester today (13 July) for a charity gig in front of 3,000.
This is a gig with a difference as no-one could buy a ticket or win a ticket to this gig at Manchester's Apollo. All those in attendance will have earned a place at the Orange Rockcorps gig by giving at least four hours of their time to local projects that will help transform local areas.
The Enemy will be joining Lady Gaga and N-Dubz for this very special gig, providing proof that helping others brings rewards. 12/07/09: The Enemy Return To Wembley  The Enemy returned to Wembley in triumph as fans soaked up the atmosphere and the flying beer. Tom told fans, "A massive fookin thanks to all of you's and a massive fookin thanks to Oasis."
Oasis fans at the gig tonight (Sunday 12 July) responded by saying, "the enemy were amazing!!! To think a year ago we went home just before they were on at Godiva festival!" - lisacov19 .
mstifosi - "The Enemy is also amazing. I don't know the lead singer's name but hell...he does look like Richard Hammond."
oasis_news - "The Enemy have finished their fantastic set. Had Enough, Away From Here and Aggro were the highlights of The Enemy's set."
David_Singleton - "The Enemy are on now, supporting Oasis at Wembley.

The Enemy UK, a three-piece from Coventry, England are poised to release Music For the People, their brilliant new album available digitally on April 28th and in stores everywhere June 23rd. The band experienced an explosion of popularity in the UK with their debut album We'll Live And Die In These Towns. Entering the UK charts at #1 the band quickly found themselves becoming a consistent mainstay on the pop charts and within the pages of NME magazine, gracing the cover six times. From the Pop Chart success spawned a slew of awards: “Best New Act” from Q Magazine, “Best British Debut Album" at the XFM Awards and “Best New Band” at the NME Awards.Tom Clarke (vocals, guitar), Andy Hopkins (bass), and Liam Watts (drums) had been a band for only three months when 2007’s We’ll Live and Die in These Towns made its debut. With Music For The People, the band hopes to reach new audiences, elevate their level of playing as well as conquer their collective vivacious creative energies. "The new record will blow a lot of people away. There are people who don't know our band yet or write us off as three-chord indie who are going to be surprised. We have really grown a set of bollocks, that's the only way to describe it,” explains Clarke.Watch the Music For The People trailerMusic For the People was recorded at Monnow Valley Studios late in 2008 under the watchful ear of producer Mike Crossy, known for his work with internationally successful bands the Arctic Monkeys and Razorlight. Armed with an album that squeals and screams with guitar riffs and is drenched in sweat and the spirit of rock and roll, the listener immediately respects the twists and turns Clarke and company swallowed to build this stellar representation. "People have forgotten how to record proper rock n roll records," he states. “It's a big sounding record…we didn't really hold back. We've spent two years on the road and we wanted something that showed how big the band can be.”The albums’ first single, ‘No Time For Tears’ shows the bands’ sensitivity and admiration for the simple element of the piano, while layering on textures with howling guitars and lyrics laden with a poignant message that leaves their audience haunted and engaged. Tracks such as ‘Last Goodbye’ reveal a darker edge and intimately cathartic emotional release for Clarke, while ‘It’s Not Ok’, ‘51st State’ and ‘Don’t Break The Red Tape’ are fuelled and raging streams of emotional overload bristling with venomous snarls and righteous voices.Listen to "No Time For Tears" from Music For The PeopleWatch the "No Time For Tears" music video
*Source: altsounds.com 28/04/09: Midweek Charts - New Album Riding High  Critics may be giving The Enemy's 'Music For The People' a mixed review, but the people who buy the music have responded in their thousands as they snap up copies of the new album. The early midweek sales have The Enemy storming the charts at number two and they are just 3,000 copies behind the legendary Bob Dylan in the album chart. 25/04/09: CCFC - The Enemy Sponsor Cov City Game COVENTRY City football club have agreed a unique sponsorship package for this Saturday's clash with Watford.
The Enemy, the city's most successful band since The Specials, will be the official match ball sponsor for the game ahead of the release of their much-anticipated second album 'Music For The People' on Monday.
Tracks from the new album will be played in the build-up to City's last home game of the season and the band's promotional material will be around the Ricoh Arena.
Bass player Andy Hopkins has also conducted an interview for the club's matchday programme.
Coventry City commercial director Nathan Kosky said: "I am not sure a band has ever sponsored a match ball before - certainly not here at Coventry City.
"We know they have been supporters of the team and they have put the city back onto the musical map in the past couple of years.
"It's great they have decided to support the club in this way and also realise that reaching out to Sky Blues fans is a great way to promote the new album in their home town".
"We will be playing tracks from the album before the game and hopefully that will help to generate a good atmosphere ahead of our final game here at the Ricoh this season. The album has received great reviews.
"We are also looking forward to seeing them here at the Ricoh in the summer when they are supporting Oasis as part of their tour."

24/04/09: Music For The People Billboard Advert The Enemy's new album 'Music For The People' has been seen out and about around Coventry this week with several giant billboard posters advertising the release of the new album. The poster above can be seen opposite the Royal Mail building in Bishop Street with another poster situated opposite the Coventry sports centre in Fairfax Street.
When 'We'll Live And Die In These Towns' was released in July 2007, The Enemy took over Coventry's train station with a massive poster featuring the debut album. The new album has had mainly positive reviews and the release of the bonus DVD from the Coventry Ricoh gig is worth watching.
The Enemy's new single 'No Time For Tears' has been 'banned' from music channels like 4Music and VH1 on shows like 'The Official UK Top 40'. The programme refused to show the video claiming it was "not suitable for the whole family".
The video shows band members Tom Clarke, Andy Hopkins and Liam Watts performing their track inside a glass box, while onlookers throw items and attack the screens with paint. The video concept was directed by Rankin & Chris Cottam who encased the band in a box, where they have to face waves of well hard, good old British hate – plus the odd moment of adulation.A thoughtful concept to reflect the song’s stoic, ‘take it like a man’ theme of which music channels have missed the point and decided to 'ban' The Enemy's video from some of their programmes.
Watch the video and judge for yourself - Should it have been banned or not?

He also said "I don't think everyone will agree with it, some people will call it unimaginative, others may say it's lazy, but I think it's simple and classic."

The Enemy will be performing at Corby for their final secret gig tonight after doctors ordered Tom Clarke to rest his wrist for 24 hours following a motorbike related incident, as reported her earlier today. Tom, Liam and Andy spent Friday evening chatting with fans who had turned up for the Tunbridge Wells secret gig, while Oli put his skills to work by playing some tunes for the crowds while getting through as many bottles of lager as possible.

26/01/09 - Support Acts Revealed For The Enemy 2009 Tour Things are already hotting up in The Enemy camp as the support acts for the 2009 UK Tour were revealed. Following the lads around the UK in March and April will be up and coming SKA influenced band Kid British and Mancunian sounding Twisted Wheel.
 Kid British (*pic: Jonny Draper) First up are Kid British, with a sound that will please every SKA fan, in fact this band takes the 'good and the great', mixes it together and comes out with a superb fresh sound. Adio, Sean, James and Simeon are a breath of fresh air and are set to go places in 2009 while putting the FUN back into music. They describe their music as 'A tasty shank of old school ska and dancehall, a generous twist of indie (be rude not to rudeboy!) a light splash of reggae, and garnished with a juicy slice of electro pop' on their MySpace page. Kid British will have you hooked, as a bonus - the lads are giving away a free MP3. Check them out: http://www.myspace.com/kidbritishmusic
 Twisted Wheel (Pic: www.myspace.com/pauladshead)
Next up are Twisted Wheel, who put the swagger back into indie, the attitude back into rock and the voice back into Manchester (and Oldham!). These lads are no strangers to performing live and recently joined Oasis at Wembley on their tour. Frontman Jonny Brown said the debut album is "raw, got lots of energy and killer songs". Joining Jonny is old schoolmate Rick Lee on bass and Adam Clarke on drums. Forming last February, NME magazine described Twisted Wheel as an ace band and things have been proving ace for the northern trio. They will be the perfect support act for The Enemy during the March/April tour. Check them out at http://www.myspace.com/thetwistedwheel - and if you're really good you can have a free download!
