The Enemy will play two hometown headline shows at Coventry Cathedral Ruins on 21st and 22nd May 2012 to coincide with the release of their third album ‘Streets in the Sky’ on 21st May. The band will also be performing an exclusive warm-up show at London’s Borderline on 18th April before their headline gig at Shepherd’s Bush Empire on 24th May.

The shows at Coventry Cathedral Ruins will follow the bands homecoming show at S7VEN nightclub in February which sold out in seconds and was packed with fans who featured on the video for the free download song ‘Gimme The Sign’. The Enemy will celebrate the release of their third album in their hometown of Coventry on the Monday and Tuesday of the week of release and the gig promises a host of new songs along with lots of the bands hit tracks and a few special guests.

The Enemy will also be performing a warm-up gig on 18th April at London’s Borderline and with a capacity of only 300. The tiny gig will precede their headline show at London’s Shepherd’s Bush Empire on 24th April where they will perform to 2000 people.

‘Streets in the Sky’ is the bands third album and according to the band, their best yet. “Streets In The Sky is the result of more than a years hard work from lots and lots of people. I’m more proud of it than any album we’ve ever made. It sounds massive and the songs are some of the best we’ve written. I can’t wait to see what the public make of it.” says The Enemy’s Tom Clarke.

The album was recordeded in London and LA with Joby J. Ford from seminal US punk band The Bronx. The video for the new single ‘Saturday’ can be seen exclusively on VEVO at www.youtube.com/user/theenemyvevo from Thursday 5th April and the full album tracklisting is listed below:
