Over the next few days we are counting down the most popular tracks from each of the four studio albums released by The Enemy as we eagerly await the fifth album being released on Friday 20th February 2026.
Social Disguises promises to be a return to the original sound that captivated Indie fans in 2007 and it will be refreshing to hear how Tom Clarke, Andy Hopkins and Liam Watts have developed their sounds for a new generation of fans, while pleasing long standing fans.
Find out which tracks fans have been listening to the most over the past 19 years as we journey back over the first four album tracks. From We'll Live and Die In These Towns (2007) to It's Automatic (2015) we will journey back to the greatest tracks by The Enemy. Music For the People (2009) and Streets In The Sky (2012) also produced memorable tracks.
Two weeks to go until the new album by The Enemy is finally released. Fans have waited over 10 years since the last album (It's Automatic 2015) release. Social Disguises hits the shops/streams on Friday 20th February 2026.
The past year has been a busy one for The Enemy with three new tracks released from the forthcoming album as well as a nationwide tour. This year is already shaping up to be another hectic one with a series of performances for the album launch (see previous posts), Summer festivals and a tour with Ocean Colour Scene later in the year.

The Enemy have released the single ‘The Boxer’, ahead of their forthcoming record Social Disguises, set to be released on February 20.
Social Disguises is the trio's first album in over a decade, and it was produced by their long-term collaborator Matt Terry.
Aiming to hit the same standards of their platinum-selling debut, We'll Live And Die In These Towns (2007), The Enemy have written their new record from 90 demos, some of which stem back to when they reformed in 2022. The group had split in 2016.
Described as intensely hypnotic, ‘The Boxer’ is about a man whose glory days are behind him, as well as a metaphor for other universal experiences, such as the realisation that our futures can always change for the better if we keep striving and battling for something more.
"‘The Boxer’ is about a fictional character, but it's an observation about regret and how anxiety can stop us achieving things we want to in life," said Tom Clarke, the lead vocalist of the band.
"It's about fear holding us back, and how that can destroy who we are. We tried to achieve an industrial weight to the sound, and a monotony to the composition to reflect the sentiment of being stuck."
