Enemy, Reverend plan collaboration

The Enemy and Reverend and the Makers are planning a collaboration.

Speaking to BBC Radio One's Newsbeat, Enemy frontman Tom Clarke said he had bonded with Reverend's Jon McClure over shared political views: "I think me and Jon are on very similar wavelengths. The same things that frustrate him frustrate me."

He added: "I've been at home before and Jon's just rung me up and we've basically just sat there and said what a state the country is in sometimes."

Clarke feels that McClure is a rarity because he writes socially aware music.

"I think he's one of the few people of our age that watches the news with the same contempt as I do.

"Our generation, I think, just feels like everything is okay and we've been plodding along just getting on with the nine to five and I just think we need to open our eyes.

"Jon is not afraid to say what he thinks is up and that's very rare."

The singer admitted that he hopes to collaborate with McClure soon.

"Yeah I'd love to and I know he's up for it too but both of our schedules are so full at the moment it's been hell trying to organise it."
