Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

The artists formerly known as Bridges (vocalist/guitarist Tom Clarke, sticksman Liam Watts, Andy Hopkins on bass) hail from Coventry, where they once won BBC’s Coventry & Warwickshire’s Band of the Month. Impressive stuff - but not many would have foreseen back then the dizzying pop heights the band would soon achieve; namely a slew of pop savvy tunes ("It’s Not OK"; "Away From Here"; "40 Days & 40 Nights"), a deal with legendary Stiff imprint (home to Elvis Costello and Ian Dury), and -– now -– a triumphant debut album. We’ll Live and Die in These Towns foams with the same youthful vitality that has informed The Enemy’s singles to date, and showcases their key influences: The Stones, The Jam, Oasis among them. The album starts off with the blistering "Aggro," which melds heavy bass riffs and drums with an Oasis-style sing-a-long chorus. Tracks like the chugging "Had Enough" boasts an added catchiness with its doo-wop style backing vocals, while the title track could be considered as something of a Jam tribute. The band veer towards the mediocre with "You're Not Alone" and "Technodanceaphobic," but the stronger material easily overshadows the fillers, making this an accomplished debut. --Danny McKenna

5.0 out of 5 stars Accomplished debut from Coventry's finest, 22 Nov 2007
This review is from: We'll Live and Die in These Towns (Audio CD)
After a gruelling schedule of UK tours, two smash-hit singles and a whole world of hype, "We'll Live And Die In These Towns" the now long and eagerly awaited debut album by Coventry 3-piece The Enemy surpasses all expectations.

Although Coventry's unlikely looking new rock sensations are unusually reluctant to offer up the names of their musical influences, "We Live And Die" is an album that reveals it's many roots as readily and as reassuringly as the most painstakingly completed family tree. At times Clarke's voice is almost scarily reminiscent of a young Paul Weller, and several tracks, most notably the title track, take on a fittingly Jam-like feel. There's an immediate, all-consuming energy to We Live And Die that echoes Oasis' classic debut. Add to that a swaggering, over confident attitude conjured up by Tom Clarke's invigorating vocals, and no doubt inspired by a similar working background to the Gallaghers, and a more than passing resemblance to the Manc legends early sound and attitude is complete. Throw the Sex Pistols, The Verve, and The Who into the mix and you're still only scratching the surface. Although comparisons to such lofty names are all well and good, to imply The Enemy are somehow lacking their own sound would be doing them a disservice. These young lads have welded together the sounds of their influences with a skill and unwavering confidence that belies their inexperience. More punk than Oasis will ever be, more Brit-rock than The Sex Pistols ever could have been, this is high octane inide rock n roll that sounds less like the Stereophonics and more like the Pigeon Detectives getting a kicking for pissing off the Clash's roadies.

The tone of the album is set from the very first bars of opening track, Aggro, and carries on from there at a blistering pace. Pounding drum rolls demand your attention, screaming guitars grab you the by the lapels, before Clarke's intoxicating vocals shake you back and forth "Call the pol-eeeeece, `cos things are getting ugly!" You're left in no doubt that The Enemy are not messing about. Only one track (the gloriously uplifting This Song) breaks the four minute barrier, and the title track aside there are no extended intros, no long drawn out outros, what you get are short sharp bursts of attitude, at times raucous, at times reflective, always lyrically depicting a recognisably gritty image of life in provincial England whilst musically screaming an infectious devil-may-care optimism. We'll Live And Die offers something that so many albums aspire to without ever delivering, it's got something to say, and it says it with attitude.

On this offering, The Enemy promise to be far more than just another bunch of Northern(ish) teen rockers making it big on the post Arctic Monkeys bandwagon. A chest-beating, foot stomping, call-to-arms of a record, this is quite possibly the most accomplished debut of it's kind since Definitely Maybe was unleashed on an unsuspecting public all those years ago, an evocative rallying cry certain to strike a chord with working class lads in dead end jobs the length and breadth of the country.

And the timing couldn't be better. With Oasis on gardening leave playing with the super band formula, this nation's heartbeat is crying out for a new soundtrack. This might just be it.

This review is from: We'll Live and Die in These Towns (Audio CD)
A must have album of 2007.From start to finish this album does not disappoint.From the raw edgy songs of aggro and technodanceaphobic to the jam like sounds of live and die in these towns and 40 days 40 nights the 11 tracks combined make this a quality album to own.In my eyes they are the band of 2007.They are amazing live as well

Sounding like Oasis, Kasabian and The Jam these lads could be the real deal!!! There's not a duff track on the album and if you like any of the above bands you'll love this - it's right on the money!!!
