The Enemy performed in front of 3,000 volunteers in Manchester on July 13, each of whom had given at least four hours of their time to help local communities . Tom Clarke spoke about the bands involvement with the charity gig for Orange RockCorp explaining why they liked the concept, "When we first heard of it, the whole gist of it, that you have to earn your way into the gig you can't just buy a ticket. It puts everyone on a completely level playing field, regardless of how easy it is for you normally to go too gigs or how hard it is for you to go too gigs. It puts everyone right back down at the bottom and says 'right, you've got to contribute to go there', I think that's a really good way of approaching it. It's a really worthwhile thing."Tom remained true to his roots, whether performing at Wembley or Apollo saying, "It's an honour to be able to play to any audience, fact of the matter is - we are three normal lads from Cov, every time you step out on stage it's an honour to be able to do what you love doing."
The Enemy were truly the rock band of the night as this Female First review highlights, "After[N-Dubz] came the obligatory rock band - it was called Orange RockCorps after all - in the form of the hottest new rock band on the scene, The Enemy. I was quite shocked to see that many of the fans that were crammed into the Apollo knew a few of The Enemy’s songs, considering the line-up was mainly pop music and the band have only recently been getting loads of radio overage.
Acting very much like their new celeb best mates in Oasis, the Enemy has unrivalled stage presence, despite there only being three of them on stage."
