English indie-rockers The Enemy have announced details of their forthcoming single ‘This is Real’ - as well as an appearance on a forthcoming Fifa 13 EP.
The Enemy will release new single ‘This Is Real’ - taken from their Top 10 album ‘Streets in the Sky’ - on 22nd October through Cooking Vinyl. The single will also feature on a four track EA Sports Fifa 13 EP to tie in with the release of the popular football video game, and will include their track ‘Saturday’ too.
The band will also be at the official launch of Fifa 13 on September 24th, playing in the tournament and interviewing football celebrities. Speaking of the game, the band said ‘FIFA is by far the most addictive game we play on the tour bus and when we’re at home. It’s a great game to play with your mates and drive them crazy when you beat them, and it’s even better when your song comes on after the match.”
‘This is Real’ sounds like a classic Enemy song. Building slowly, it launches into a huge anthemic chorus with Tom’s distinctive vocals backed by heavy drums and guitars. One of the standout tracks of The Enemy’s set at summer festivals, with a crowd of 10,000 fans at T in the Park chanting along to it arms in the air, it is the perfect guitar anthem.
New album ‘Streets in the Sky’ is the band’s third album and was recorded in London and LA with Joby J. Ford from seminal US punk band The Bronx. The 12-track album has the signature Enemy guitar sound yet it is much heavier than the last two albums and it charted at #9 in its first week of release, which is the third Top 10 album for the band.
