Tom, Liam and Andy will fly straight over after they finish their latest UK tour, which ends in Liverpool on Friday 9th March 2013 - but will have no time for jet lag as they will be performing on Monday 11th March the Knitting Factory, Brooklyn in New York.

The Coventry lads were in America last January recording their third album 'Streets In The  Sky' with Joby J Ford but last performed live gigs in several locations back in 2008. This time The Enemy are performing with Reverend And The Makers at two locations:

Monday 11th March 2013 - Knitting Factory, Brooklyn, New York

The Enemy Return To UK

The Enemy have returned from their recording sessions in Los Angeles (as pictured above with Coventry photographer Kevin Donnelly). With just a few more studio recording sessions to go, The Enemy are beginning to see the formation of their third album. They told fans, "We are back from LA armed with another 4 finished tracks and 2 more very nearly there, back in the studio very soon and BANG ON target for release."

Pictures taken while The Enemy were in the USA by Kevin Donnelly can be seen on Tom Clarke's official blog and we'll post them here during the coming week.

The Enemy Reveal Album Tracks

The Enemy are currently in LA recording tracks for the anticipated third album and Tom Clarke took time out from the studio to talk about the new tracks. Tom said, "We've hardly seen outside the studio in all the time we've been here, we've worked faster and harder than we ever have before." The band are working with The Bronx's Joby J Ford, who is helping to create the sound for the new album.

Fans will be delighted to know the Coventry trio are returning to their roots with new songs such as 'Saturday' and 'Turn It On Two' - guitar led up tempo songs written at the start of their career. Tom described them as, "simple hooky melodies over rock guitar and power drums. They remind us of tracks like 'Had Enough' and 'Be Somebody'."

New song 'This Is Real' has been available to fans from The Enemy's Facebook page, but the song has been transformed with more drum playing from Liam Watts, a violin and a Grammy Award winning Hispanic vocal trio - Tom thinks the song has a 'You're Not Alone' feel to it!

Some tracks have not been finalised yet, 'Make A Man' is still being worked on but promises to have great drums and that very British sound. The lads continue to produce songs about everyday life and '1234' will be a punk sounding track about youth culture in the UK.

If you enjoyed album tracks like 'Pressure' then you should enjoy 'Bigger Cages Longer Chains', a track that promises lots of guitar action. Another song that could be making it to the third album is 'Gimmie The Sign',  Tom described it as "a step forward in the right direction, keeping the classic Enemy sentiments but with a more anthemic vibe."

The Enemy can not wait to return with the new album and a UK tour - Tom, Andy and Liam are enjoying the learning experience of working in an LA studio with the crew. The band want to get this album just right, so that fans can be proud. Tom said, "we're still young and on the cusp of discovering what you can really do with music, we're all stupidly excited about this record, we've made huge strides without forgetting where we come from and belong."

Tom Clarke Praises Fans

Tom Clarke has praised fans in his latest official blog update during The Enemy's second day in Los Angeles. He spoke about the bands plans for 2012 and the hard work that lies ahead, Tom went on to say,

"We can bring the music, and a bucket load of passion and dedication, but if we're going to take it to them, we need everyone of you, fighting with us to make music great again, telling people about the record, spreading the word, creating a movement from the working men's clubs, university bars and small venues up."

 Tom is passionate about the state of the music industry, and wants to see more guitar bands back in the charts and on the radio. The Enemy are currently listening to all the bands that posted a Sound Cloud on their Facebook page with the view of giving a support slot at a gig or two later in the year.

Tom concluded his blog by saying, "Every band that breaks through the monopoly of the charts will pave the way for more, it's a time for bands to stick together, for music fans to unite, and to count every small victory against the rich TV pop kingmakers. We can do it, but we can't do it without you."

The Enemy are currently recording some tracks for their third album with Joby J Ford (The Bronx) in Los Angeles and will be touring the UK later in 2012.

The Enemy Heading To America

Liam Watts gets his passport ready!

The Enemy will be jetting off to Los Angeles in the USA early in the New Year for some serious recording with new album producer Joby Ford (The Bronx). The band are in positive mood leading into Christmas, saying that recording of the first new tunes had gone well. The Enemy are returning to their roots musically, while taking on board the experience of Joby Ford. The lads were at Kore Studios in West London earlier this month putting some new tracks on test. The studios can boast the likes of Kasabian, Manic Street Preachers and Noah And The Whale as clients - with a £350 half day fee, it makes true the saying 'time is money'!

John Dawkins - the man who discovered the Coventry trio, has listened to the new tracks and has tweeted very encouragingng comments about the sound of the new album. John has been working hard behind the scenes making sure the return of The Enemy is just what the fans ordered. (He is also involved with the more mundane tasks, like ferrying Liam Watts around Peterborough for his new passport .... as seen in the picture above!)

Speaking on their Facebook page, The Enemy confirmed the third album is expected to be out around May/June 2012.
