Right first things first Happy New Year and all that stuff, we had a proper family time and took part in all the usual shenanigans before heading straight back to the studio to complete the second record which I can now reveal to you lot is gonna be called 'Music For The People'. It’ll include songs such as 'Elephant Song', 'Don’t Break The Red Tape' and 'Sing When You’re In Love'. ....

We feel like we have made a big step forward with this album and I can speak for all of us when I say how delighted we are with it all - really hope that you lot feel the same. We decided to go right back to basics with the recording and do it all on tape rather than computers which is how the vast majority of modern records are made, and as a result it sounds huge, like a proper old school rock record. But don’t worry the bangers are very much still there and hardcore Enemy fans will NOT be disappointed I can assure you.

SMALL TOWNS TOUR!

To celebrate the album title we are going to come and play in a bunch of small towns up and down the country for free to a few hundred people, we have some ideas of where we wanna go but would like your suggestions as well. We don’t want to play normal places where people get a chance to see gigs all the time, so be creative in your suggestions. We are gonna go out the last week in February in a van and just do the shows without any fuss, which means that we will announce each show the day before the gig itself and give people on our MySpace and forums first dibs on the limited run of free tickets. We will probably also give some away during the day on local radio and Papers etc. We will also be setting up a special web site for this where people can leave ideas and messages as well as live streams from the shows, photos and videos. We’ll let you know the URL for the site very soon. ....

NEW WEBSITE LAUNCHED

We’ve also just launched our new website www.theenemy.com, it’s a massive improvement on the last one and for the first time has a forum! I’m hoping it’ll be run by fans rather than record label etc so if anyone wants to be a moderator leave a message on our MySpace (www.myspace.com/theenemycoventry) which I read daily. We are gonna be embracing the world of technology for the first time on our new site and will be holding a series of web chats and one to one interactions which will be ace. ....

WATCH OUR UNION CHAPEL GIG FREE...

Lastly we filmed a show that we did for Jo Whiley’s charity (Little Noise Sessions in id of cerebral palsy research) where we stripped everything down to acoustic instruments and we have yet to think of anything to do with the material, so we thought that we would let you lot watch it for free. If you own a physical copy of ‘We Live and Die In These Towns’ album you can now use it to access footage from 2007’s Union Chapel gig. Just have your copy of the album close by and go to: www.theenemy.com/unionchapel
