New York Times 'about.com' reviews Shakedown
January 26th, 2010
The hardest thing for me to grasp about this band is that they’ve been around for less than two years, because a listen to the Shakedown EP by Toronto’s The New Enemy is a walk down memory lane to the early days of classic hardcore, when the music was about being fast and aggressive.
Coming in barely over 15 minutes, the six songs on Shakedown are like breath of fresh air, you know if that breath of fresh air was actually breathed in the hot confines of a sweaty circle pit, and was followed up with an elbow to the jaw.
