The Enemy performed a homecoming show at S7VEN nightclub in Coventry earlier this month to a packed out, ecstatic crowd who managed to get a ticket to the tiny 350 capacity gig (which sold out in seconds). At the raucous gig they filmed the video for their intense new single ‘Gimme The Sign’ which is available for free download on the bands facebook and website.

“Where better to shoot the video than at Dawkins's club night!? Most mental crowd I've ever seen. Never had to climb over the drum kit to get off the stage because it's full of fans before! You can tell people are properly excited for real music again. S7VEN show proved that you can stand there all day long turning up the contrast on your lap top with iTunes banging out of it, but nothing beats seeing a band live. Nothing.” Tom Clarke, The Enemy

The Enemy formed in hometown Coventry in 2006 by three friends; Andy Hopkins (25, bass), Liam Watts (24, drums) and Tom Clarke (24, vocals/guitar). Their first single ’40 days, 40 nights’ sold out all 1000 copies of its limited edition 7” in less than a day and signaled only the start for The Enemy. Their debut 2007 album ‘We’ll Live and Die in These Towns’ charted at #1 selling over 600,000 copies with big singles ‘Away From Here’ (Top 10) and ‘Had Enough’ (Top 5) gaining the band an army of diehard fans. Their second album ‘Music For The People’ was released in 2009 and charted very strongly at #2 with hit ‘Be Somebody’ continued to be used on ITV’s FA Cup coverage. 

To date, the band have sold over half a million tickets for their live gigs and along with their own headline dates and festival appearances, they have performed with the likes of Oasis, Kasabian, Manic Street Preachers and Stereophonics. The Enemy performed a homecoming show at S7VEN nightclub in Coventry last week to a packed out, ecstatic crowd who managed to get a ticket to the tiny 350 capacity gig (which sold out in seconds).
