THE NEW ENEMY “Outsourced EP” Narrowing the list to 5 original songs and a Kid Dynamite cover, The New Enemy enlisted Canadian punk luminary Simon Head (SNFU, Closet Monster) to produce their CD debut, “Outsourced EP”. Recording with Head over in Toronto, the EP came together with fervor and persistence. The New Enemy wanted a fresh set of ears for mastering, and found them in Michael Dominici (Joni Mitchell, Mos Def) at Music House Mastering in NYC.
THE NEW ENEMY “Shakedown EP” Building on the sound from their first release, while sticking to their roots, “Shakedown EP” was produced by Simon Head (SNFU, Closet Monster), mastered by Nick Zampiello (Against Me, Converge), and features artwork by acclaimed French artist Dominique Sinibaldi.
