THEY are one of the country’s biggest rock bands and have just released their third top 10 album – probably their best to date.

Having sold out arenas, supported Oasis and the Manic Street Preachers, and played on stage with ‘the Modfather’ Paul Weller, Coventry three-piece The Enemy are heading to Bournemouth for a night at the Old Fire Station on Sunday.

It is seven years since these three lads from the West Midlands burst on to the scene in a riot of Mod attitude, Brit Pop swagger and unashamed energy.

Formed in Coventry in 2006 by Liam and friends Andy Hopkins (bass) and guitarist and singer Tom Clarke, their first single – 40 Days, 40 Nights – sold out all 1,000 copies of its limited edition vinyl in less than a day.

The Bournemouth show will see the lads showcase tunes from their recent third album Streets in the Sky – a punchy riot of heavy guitars and indie anthems.
