This is not the first signing session the band has undertaken, they also held events for the release of their singles 'Away From Here' and 'Had Enough'. The dedication to their work and constant contact with their fanbase has made The Enemy one of the most popular new bands this year.
The album 'We'll Live and Die in These Towns' knocked the Chemical Brothers' fifth album 'We Are the Night' off the UK album chart top spot on July 15, shooting straight to number 1.
Early album reviews have been mixed, with some comparing it to Oasis' début CD, Definitely Maybe. [citation needed] A low-quality version of the full album was leaked on July 3, containing demo and non-album versions of particular songs.
