The Enemy are a British rock band formed in Coventry in 2006, signed to Warner Music Group (UK).

In June 2007, The Enemy played twice at Glastonbury Festival, played the 'Guardian lounge' on Saturday and the much larger 'Other Stage' on Sunday. They also headlined on the Saturday night of T In The Park in the 'Futures' tent on the 7th July. On July 16, 2007 the band's debut album: We'll Live and Die in These Towns went straight to Number 1 in the UK Albums chart on release.
 
In August 2007 The Enemy supported The Rolling Stones on the last date of their European tour at the O2 Arena in London. The band played a fully electric gig with Dirty Pretty Things to a selection of inmates at HMP Pentonville to raise awareness of the problem of suicides in young males. Tom was quoted as saying that it was a real privilege to work for such a worthy cause.

In September 2007 The Enemy played the Jersey Live Festival along with The Fratellis and The Twang. The band were told that they'd never play the festival again after they burnt out a cabin on the site (supposedly 'an accident').

In October 2007, they won best new act at the Q Awards, and gave the award to a young fan who had been crushed at the front of their gig in Manchester.

In January 2008, The Enemy won the XFM award "Best British Debut Album Of 2007" with "We'll Live And Die In These Towns", the Xfm New Music Awards were held at Camden's KOKO venue. Robmacca (talk) 18:09, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
