The Enemy To Offer Free Download

Fans of The Enemy will be checking out the Coventry bands Facebook page with anticipation over the coming days after the lads promised they would give fans a free download once the page hits 100,000 'likes'.  The page has so far racked up an impressive 98,260 likes and the band want to top the 100,000 mark over the coming days.

The Enemy have treated fans with two free downloads over the past year with 'Gimme The Sign' ahead of the 'Streets In The Sky' album launch  and 'This Is Real', an early version of the song that later became a track on the album with the words changed to include the album title in the lyrics.

Once the Facebook page reached 100,000 then The Enemy will be offering all fans the chance to download something special from their page. Tom, Andy and Liam are also putting on a free gig at London's Hyde Park on Thursday 9th August 2012, taking to the stage at 9pm (performance changed from advertised 10pm). They told fans, "Team GB are smashing it this week, third in the Olympics leaderboard, and to show our support we're playing a free gig with for BT London Live. You can watch some of the days action on the big screen, then catch live tracks from us lot." For more details on the free gig, head over to the BT London Live website.

The Enemy will be performing at V and Belsonic festival later this month and then they will be touring the UK, full details on the links below.

Liam Watts Talks About The State Of UK Charts

While Liam Watts makes plenty of noise on the drums in The Enemy, he is often perceived as the quite one. Just check out his Twitter page and you may struggle to keep up with his tweets, but Becca Longmire from entertainmentwise.com managed to pin Liam down for this interview.......

Indie-rockers The Enemy are known for their honest opinions and their lack of love for the charts at the minute, however Entertainmentwise wanted to hear it from the guys themselves, so we caught up with drummer Liam Watts to talk pop, charts and T4 on the Beach.

The band released their current album 'Streets In The Sky' back in May (May 21) and charted at a respectable number nine the following Sunday. However, in a world surrounded by talent shows and pop music, is it hard for indie bands to make a name for themselves nowadays?

Liam told us: "Talent shows seem to be the future and I don't see how indie bands can overcome that. They're completely taking over the charts!"

He then went on to say, when asked about whether or not free downloads are constructive when it comes to bands like themselves: "I do think that free downloads help but we as a band did it more for the fans, as a thank you."

However, this begs the question - why would you surround yourselves with pop acts at T4 on the Beach, which took place recently on July 1...

"We played T4 on the Beach and it was a bit of a contrast, but we played T4 3 years ago as well. I think it's so hard to get TV exposure nowadays that you just have to do it, you have to take every opportunity", Liam went on.

"People seemed to like it and we were one of the only bands that didn't play with some form of backing track or CD."

Ooo, sly little dig noted...we have to say, we're pretty impressed that this is a band that haven't attempted to change even though they are still riding pretty high in the mainstream charts.

Liam added, "We'll never change, but of course bands mature", referring to the bands ever-growing style.

PRESS: The Enemy On Rocket Fuel

The Scottish Sun continued it's coverage of T In The Park as it reviewed the festival. When it got to The Enemy, they wrote:

"Yes, yes, yes — Coventry boys The Enemy, fronted by Tom Clarke, put in a classic T In The Park shift.

They had the King Tut’s Tent so packed it had to be shut, and for good reason — they were playing like they were on rocket fuel.

They also had foul-mouthed backstage rants, got on the booze, swaggered around — and were just general geezers.

It’s what T is all about.

VIDEO: The Enemy - Like A Dancer (Official Video) With Lyrics

The Enemy will be releasing 'Like A Dancer' as the next track from the album 'Streets In The Sky' on July 23rd 2012. The Coventry band will be touring this autumn after several summer festivals. Tom Clarke has been revealing who will be supporting the  band on his blog.

Here is the official video and lyrics for The Enemy 'Like A Dancer' - filmed on location in Glasgow during the gig at Barrowlands.


The Enemy - Like A Dancer (Lyrics)

Standing in the rain, bus is late again,
she's been waiting for the answer
She won't go away, until it comes her way,
she won't miss another chance
And it's hard to take,
but she's hard to break
And it's hard


There's a twinkle in her little eye,
and just for a minute,
she feels like a dancer
If you let her in, then she'll stay for life,
cause she feels like a dancer
Like a dancer, like a dancer tonight


On a single bed, where she lays her head,
she thinks about tomorrow
And she doesn't know,
that she's beautiful,
but you know it shows
And it's hard to take,
but she's hard to break
Said it's hard to take


There's a twinkle in her little eye,
and just for a minute,
she feels like a dancer
If you let her in,
then she'll stay for life,
there's a twinkle in her little eye
And she feels like a dancer
If you let her in,
then she'll stay for life


And tonight's the night,
that she will find it,
in her eyes the lights, are all shining
She feels like a dancer,
feels like a dancer
As she slips away again


There's a twinkle in her little eye
And just for a minute she feels like a dancer
If you let her in,
then she'll stay for life,
cause she feels like a dancer


There's a twinkle in her little eye
and just for a minute she feels like a dancer
If you let her in,
then she'll stay for life,
cause she feels like a dancer
