We are back in debut album territory with The Enemy's 'We'll Live And DIe In These Towns' on this episode of the XS Long Player as Jim Salveson is joined by the Coventry band's frontman Tom Clarke. We get all the stories behind the making of this 2007 classic including how a midnight drive to Scotland focused the bands mind, how Tom saw it as a clear choice between being an rock star and selling tumble dryers and we even get into the topic of potential new music and those Icon 2009 gigs supporting Oasis on their final ever (until next year) UK dates. Make sure you go back and listen to the album in full either before or after you check out this episode... cos its a banger.
