Counterfeit announce new single 'Enough' and share music video

Enough is Counterfeit’s first full UK single release, and follows their debut EP Come Get Some, which was released in November.

The video was shot at several of the punk-rock band’s shows, including their debut live show at a sold out O2 Academy Islington, and their two sold out shows this year at Milan’s Tunnels. The black and white live footage was shot by Craig Newton, and edited by frontman, Jamie Campbell Bower.  

Of Enough, Jamie has said: "The band and myself were in the studio recording the instrumental for this single when the attacks on Paris, and most notably the Bataclan happened. The song originally was about something completely different but upon seeing the horror and savagery inflicted on innocent people I couldn't let myself not attempt to say anything."

"Even though this song is born out of one specific incident I wanted to try and address the unnecessary presence of evil that exists within our society today and the frustration and relative anger that, that has inflicted on an entire generation. Above anything this song is about acceptance and love. We consider it our marching anthem." 

Counterfeit already have an exciting 2016 ahead of them. April sees the five-piece play their first UK headline tour, which includes their second ever London show at Electric Ballroom on 24th April.

They will be supported by alt-rock four-piece, Bellevue Days. Counterfeit then return to mainland Europe for another string of dates in Holland, Germany, Italy, Switzerland and Spain. Brighton trio, Tigercub will support the band on the European leg of the tour, in April and May. The band have also just announced that they will play shows in Poland and Germany in June, including Rockcamp 2016. Tickets are on sale now.
