James Arden checks out the garage rockers latest album.
The Christian rock band from Brighton bring religion to the masses.
Recipe for modern R'n'B album: liberal helpings of guest rappers and an overdose of sexual euphemisms.
Yet another addition to the “I’m just singing about life” brigade, The Enemy imagine that they tap into the deepest, most profound levels of our collective souls by examining the “nitty gritty,” “real” daily grind. Girls pushing prams – Shock! Lads on the lash – Horror! Dirgey chorus and repetitive lyrics abound; it seems that in the midst of this Middle-England moralising, The Enemy have forgotten to write a song. Thank fuck.

As Moby himself pointed out on Nevermind the Buzzcocks, the man can be surprisingly divisive – coming off as an eccentric genius or a bit of a pretentious, preachy bastard, His latest single, “Alice”, is a hip-hop crossover, with well-written rhymes and a catchy beat. It’s an enjoyable track, but not exactly envelope-pushing. It would be a struggle to either love or hate the guy because of it.

' Fresh from the 'Scouting For Girls' tour Liverpool quintet The Sonic Hearts' debut single has potential. Lead singer Sean Francis Butler's grizzly vocals are promising; unfortunately the song falls flat. 'To Be Someone' flows nicely but remains on a single plateau, losing itself amid the repetitive melody. Self confessed as Pop-Acoustic-Tropical, they are about as 'tropical' as their name, leaving the band still needing to prove what it is 'to be someone' in the music industry today.'
