New Enemy record has "big" sound

Tom Clarke, lead singer of The Enemy, has said that the group's forthcoming album will have a "big" sound.

The indie band have been recording the LP, their follow-up to 2007's We'll Live And Die In These Towns, in the small Welsh town of Monmouth.

Speaking to Newsbeat about the record, Clarke revealed: "It's sounding well good. Imagine cloning a woolly mammoth and an elephant then gluing the two together and then getting AC/DC to ride the back of it with Noel Gallagher sitting on the trunk just having a little sing song with [Paul] Weller."

The Coventry band are holding off on playing any of their new tracks live, instead waiting until the album has been released.

Clarke explained: "We're not going to bust any of it out, until it's out. I'm pretty confident people can deal with the excitement.

"For me part of the excitement about a band that I like bringing out a new record is queuing in the shop and actually holding it in your hands. Hearing all the tunes in one go."
