The Enemy Talk To XFM About New Album

The Enemy headed back to XFM radio for an interview with John Kennedy who talked to Tom, Liam and Andy on their second album, ‘Music For The People’. Hear their track-by-track interview now.

The Enemy’s debut created waves on the scale of a tsunami. It was so vital, fresh and exciting we even awarded it our very first XFM ‘New Music Award’. The big question, we thought, was how you follow it up.

The answer, however, was very, very simple. You come back with a bigger, bolder and better record that not just puts their debut in the shade, but pretty much everything else we’ve heard since. John Kennedy was suitably enthused by it and pulled the band in for an in-depth track-by-track interview.
