We’ll Live and Die in These Towns: How a song encapsulates a culture
In 2007, a relatively new indie band from the West Midlands city of Coventry, England, found themselves at the start of a promising career as they released a debut album that took them to the top of the UK charts in no time, writes Music News Blitz’s Charlie Gardner.
The band was called The Enemy, and We’ll Live and Die in These Towns was the album.
It soon made its way to infamy, with music magazines praising them and bringing them to the public eye and the band being further promoted in their support of countless UK music juggernauts, including Oasis, Kasabian and Stereophonics.
