A June review just wasn’t quite enough for Exclaim! magazine. Taken from Exclaim! Magazine’s latest July review of Outsourced EP.

The New Enemy
Outsourced
By Keith Carman

The further we progress from mid-’90s hardcore, the more appealing (read: nostalgic) it becomes. No one embraces this under-acknowledged piece of punk rock past more than the New Enemy. With a hammering rhythmic attack reminiscent of Kid Dynamite, brash vocals equivalent to the Dillinger Escape Plan and harmonies yanked from some of Avail’s finer moments, this throwback quartet are spot on through an ephemeral six-song EP. Embittered yet forward-thinking, persistent and zealous, the New Enemy fit in perfectly with newer acts such as Cloak/Dagger and New Mexican Disaster Squad, albeit with slightly rougher edges that lean towards Agnostic Front-ish confrontational attitude. If Outsourced is any indication of the New Enemy’s potential, they are very well Toronto’s greatest hope for retrospective hardcore. (Independent)  Read more...

Outsourced EP on iTunes

Posted by Declan on Jun 16, 2008 in News | 0 comments

Clearly, after downloading the album for free you won’t be able to contain yourself and will just HAVE to download it from iTunes. Because that is the sensible thing do. Confused yet? Me to.

Anyway, it’s there and… umm… we think it’s DRM free.

Here’s to hoping.

Hi everybody! Time for another update from The New Enemy…

Canuck’s love their own! The June issue of Canada’s Exclaim Magazine has a review for Outsourced EP. We’re featured on the June 9th episode of Canadian Punk Podcast, available from iTunes and on their website. We’re also a featured band on Toronto Punk MySpace. And thanks to the guys at Punkorama on 102.1 The Edge for their continued support.

While being international playboys, constantly circling the globe, we’ve made friends with Sweden’s So What Blog and Portugal’s Moo Musica. The Punk Site have us as a featured band for June. Fuck you Chad Kroeger! We’re GJK Promotions Artist of the Day, and you’re not.  Read more... (151 words, estimated 36 secs reading time)
