Hmm... The Enemy

The Enemy are booking a 2027 Coventry arena show to mark twenty years of 'We’ll Live And Die In These Towns'. It is a massive bet on the longevity of mid-2000s British indie-rock nostalgia. While their peers have mostly faded into heritage-act obscurity, Tom Clarke’s outfit is seeing a conviction spike that suggests a generational handover is happening. We are watching to see if this anniversary play triggers a broader revival of that gritty, working-class guitar sound for a new cohort of listeners.
