THE ENEMY (Reunion Show) details
Lineup and details for THE ENEMY (Reunion Show) on Saturday 30th June 2012
The Enemy formed in early 1980 in their local youth club, with several changes of personnel before they stabilized the following year as Mark Woodhouse (vocals), Steve "Mez" Mellers (guitar), Steve O'Donnell (bass), and Mark Herrington (drums) They played their first gig at Woodlands Youth Centre, and landed a support slot on Anti Pasti's gig in Huddersfield.
They recorded their first single, "50,000 Dead" at Old Cottage Studios in Derby, releasing it on their own Tin Tin label, the single recieved Radio One airplay on the John Peel Show and led to the band being signed to Fall Out Records, debuting on the label with "Fallen Hero" in May 1982, which reached number 4 in the UK Indie Chart "Fallen Hero", an anti-war song, was also included on the Punk and Disorderly volume 2 compilation which reached the indie top 10.
Kev Lamb joined the band on Guitar and their Debut album Gateway to Hell was issued in 1983 to much critical acclaim and respectable sales. Herrington left the band before the album was released, to be replaced by Dave Hill. The band toured around Britain in support of the album, but were dropped by Fall Out, and moved to the local Rot label (run by Riot Squad's Dunk) for their next single, "Last But Not Least", which was followed by an album of the same name (now featuring lead guitarist Russel Maw), with tracks split between a live recording from The Bierkeller in Leeds and studio tracks recorded at Cargo Studios in Rochdale. The album turned out to be The Enemy's final release, with disappointing sales following the lack of support and funding from Rot together with musical differences prompted the band not to record or play live again.
They are now playing a reunion Gig in the UK in 2012 at The Old Bell, SadlerGate, DERBY on SATURDAY JUNE 30th with the Line-up of Mark Woodhouse (Vocals), Steve ODonnell (Bass/Vocals), Steve Mellers (Guitar), Kev Lamb (Guitar) and Mark Herrington (Drums)
