The Enemy at Somerset House

The Enemy at Somerset House | Live review

Playing songs from their enthralling new third album Streets in the Sky, which was officially released in May, The Enemy captured the audience at the magnificent open-air fountain courtyard at Somerset House.

The album, named after a documentary about a Sheffield council estate, has produced more optimism within the band than previous albums and this saw a better reception from fans who danced and sang along to their favourites including Gimme the Sign with frontman Tom Clarke hammering away on guitar.

2 Kids saw fans singing along with Clarke and: “Life is good, better than they say/They can never take our memories away” echoed from ear to ear.

It is a relief that The Enemy have made a comeback, with material that is far from disappointing, their new-found optimism is reflected on to the fans and this could be a big turning point for them.
