Following quickly on from their debut six track mini album, Please Enjoy Your Punk Rock Responsibility, Enemies of Promise unleash the follow up; Heroes and Villains. Ten tracks of tuneful, thoughtful catchy polemic. This is blood red stuff, the machine gun drum beats, crunching and chugging guitars get your feet taping. Songs about labour exploitation, war, the abuse of power, right wing politics and the media get yer fist raised and yer heart pumping.
One day all things will change so long as there are decent folk like Enemies of Promise picking up guitars, writing pure and passionate political songs and singing them from the roof tops. Heroes and Villains is a perfectly timed musical head shot straight between the eyes soundtrack to the present political post election climate in this (dis)United Kingdom.
I haven't heard anything as
politically charged as this since the Red Wedge, Anarcho Punk times
of Thatcher's Eighties. Thirty five later and nothing much has
changed, if anything at both a local and global level things have got
worse.
Enemies of Promise are a voice of sanity amongst the shouting of our political leaders and the silence of mainstream musicians in a time when there's a lot to be said and needs to be said about the state our society. Check out Enemies of Promise here and hear what they've got to say with their Post Punk Rock Sixties Stained Pop'n'Roll music.

And in a despicably capitalistic attempt to garner publicity for a good cause and a great band, they are playing the Rhythms of the World Festival (Sat 20th and Sun 21st June) in Hitchin Hertfordshire on The Arcadeclectic Stage on Sat. the 20th June.
