The Enemy: 'We're not spectacular'

Tom Clarke has said that his band The Enemy have achieved success because they are "normal lads", and "not spectacular".

The frontman told The Sun that he believes that fans can empathise with him and and his bandmates.

Clarke said: "The reason this band has got to where it has is because we're not spectacular. We're normal lads, with normal backgrounds and people relate to us.

"No, we're not political because we can't change anything. The amount of times I've seen me labelled 'voice of a generation' and it's b*****ks."

He added that it was "down to those politicians who are genuinely good people" to try to change the world for the better.

Last month, Clarke claimed that he had anticipated the economic recession and said that it had increased the relevance of the band's music.
