The New Enemy

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

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)

Thanks, Exclaim!

We have a great show coming up Thursday, July 3rd at the Bovine Sex Club with a couple of bands that we think are cool (you will to).

Jul 3rd, 2008 9:00pm The Bovine Sex Club, Toronto, ON
Political Hardcore Punk Rock Show with P.D.H, The New Enemy, and Dead City Citizens.

Good times.

See you there,

Declan

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.
