It’s Automatic

More music, in the shape of The Enemy this time. They’ve tided themselves up a bit since the days of …These Towns  (which is still brilliant, by the way) – they are more polished, more electronic, more mature and more… well… professional. It’s an interesting progression.

The 3D-themed Abba-profile shot-eque video is a little dull, but the music is promising. It’s Automatic is the title track from their new album, and it’s going to be another one to add to my bulging sack of music this spring.

We’ll Live and Die in These Towns

Quota music video time and a favourite of mine from Coventry band The Enemy.
This is We’ll Live and Die in These Towns from 2007.

Lead singer Tom Clarke admits that they were heavily influenced by The Clash, which won’t surprise anyone listening to this who has heard The Clash. He doesn’t admit to being heavily influenced by Richard Hammond from BBC’s Top Gear, despite obviously being his uglier brother.
