THE ENEMY are preparing for tour bus fall-outs when they hit the road in November - over a football video game, according to an interview in the Sunday Mail. The Scottish newspaper interviewed Tom Clarke about the new single, FIFA 10, touring and recording.
The band's forthcoming single Be Somebody is the theme song for hit FIFA 10 game and they are getting their bus kitted out with an Xbox 360 so they can play.
But frontman Tom Clarke admits there will be arguments between himself and bandmates Liam Watts and Andy Hopkins over who gets to be their beloved Coventry City.
Tom said: "It's one of those things that's a bit of fun. Electronic Arts wanted to use one of our tracks on the game and Be Somebody immediately came to mind.
"The single is out the week before the game so it all just fell in to place really nicely.
"The best thing is it looks like they're going to sort us out with an Xbox so we can spend all those hours on the tour bus playing FIFA10...but there will be rows over who plays as Coventry."
He joked: "Not over who GETS to play as them but who HAS to!"
The Enemy play Glasgow's 02 Academy on November 11 as they wrap up last album, Music For The People, and prepare to start work on the next one.
The album marked a radical and risky departure from the raw, undiluted energy of their breakthrough CD, We'll Live And Die In These Towns. But Tom is confident they got away with it because the new songs worked well live.
Tom said: "That surprised us because we didn't think about that at all when we were making the record. It just happened."
However he admits they plan to return to their roots and the sound which first made them stars for their third album.
He said: "We're really happy with how Music For The People went but there was something missing, that raw, energetic sound that came from the three of us in a rehearsal room. I want that back on the next record.
"We finish the tour in November then we're going to take a month off for Christmas and get stuck into the album in the New Year."
The Enemy's Be Somebody features on the soundtrack for EA SPORTS FIFA 10, available from October 2. For more information go to www.easports.co.uk/fifa
