The Enemy

Ok, I’m the first to admit that sometimes I cheat a little bit on New Band Day. Sometimes the bands aren’t exactly new and they’ve been all over the bloggeration. I justify it with the thought that if I have socks older than them, they’re new. I think today’s band The Enemy is new every which way you look at it. Heck, I have cheese older than this band. It has a slightly green hue, but that’s the way I likes me cheese.

They’re three British eighteen year olds that started the band three months ago, because as they say on their myspace “we’re bored of our shit jobs and all the shit people round here”. Ah, such passion for music warms my heart. Ok, so their little introduction didn’t exactly invite me to listen to them, but the beauty of myspace is that they don’t care, they make you listen to the songs whether you want to or not. So when I heard “40 Days And 40 Nights” I was pleasantly surprised and a little pissed (NOT jealous) to be honest. There are people out there who try and try for years to make a catchy song that would have people dancing the night away and never succeed. These boys decide one day that their jobs suck so “hey why not form a band”. And wouldn’t you know, they put together a song that’ll have indie kids fighting to get to the dancefloor, just like that. Psh, punks. Listen to three of their songs on their myspace and find out what boring little towns are good for.
