The Enemy Sign Indie Record Deal

The Enemy are back on an indie record label for their third album, after updating their Facebook page with the exciting news. Coventry Telegraph reporter and local music lover, Warren Manger writes more in his latest blog update......

COVENTRY stars The Enemy have singed to a new record label to release their third album, which they predict will be their best yet.

The trio have inked a deal with Cooking Vinyl (home to The Prodigy, Primal Scream and Marylin Manson).

No release date or title has been confirmed for the new album, but it is expected early next year.

The band wrote on their Facebook page: "Delighted to say we've all but finished writing our 3rd Album and we'll be recording proper in early December with Joby J. Ford (of U.S. band The Bronx) taking the production chair.

"We're chuffed to be working with Joby, and equally happy that the material he'll be working on with us is our best yet... and very full on.

"We are delighted to still be on an Indie label - as we started life on Stiff Records - and Cooking Vinyl feels like home already."

The Music Abyss brought you news that the band believed Ford would help them create a "balls out of the bath rock and roll" sound on the new album.

Frontman Tom Clarke their goal was to "remind people what rock is, what musicians are, what a great song sounds like and what's missing from radio at the moment."

Clarke also promised The Enemy would stage a huge open air show in Coventry next year and embark on a full world tour.

Could it be that the Enemy plan to return to Godiva Festival on the fifth anniversary of their landmark 2007 show?

The band played the night before it was confirmed their debut album We'll Live And Die In These Towns had shot straight to number one in the UK chart.

It was arguably the best and most fondly remembered set in Godiva's history.

Clarke has also revealed he would love to work with Coventry's Turner Prize nominee George Shaw.

Much of the artist's work is inspired by his childhood in Tile Hill. His exhibition I Woz Ere is at the Herbert Art Gallery until March and he will discover whether he has won the prestigious Turner Prize on Monday (December 5).

Clarke said: "We paint pictures of what we see in music while George Shaw does the same in his art work.

"I'd love the opportunity to work with him in any capacity."
