Amazon.co.uk Review
The artists formerly known as Bridges (vocalist/guitarist Tom Clarke, sticksman Liam Watts, Andy Hopkins on bass) hail from Coventry, where they once won BBC's Coventry & Warwickshire's Band of the Month. Impressive stuff - but not many would have foreseen back then the dizzying pop heights the band would soon achieve; namely a slew of pop savvy tunes ("It's Not OK"; "Away From Here"; "40 Days & 40 Nights"), a deal with legendary Stiff imprint (home to Elvis Costello and Ian Dury), and -- now -- a triumphant debut album. We'll Live and Die in These Towns foams with the same youthful vitality that has informed The Enemy's singles to date, and showcases their key influences: The Stones, The Jam, Oasis among them. The album starts off with the blistering "Aggro," which melds heavy bass riffs and drums with an Oasis-style sing-a-long chorus. Tracks like the chugging "Had Enough" boasts an added catchiness with its doo-wop style backing vocals, while the title track could be considered as something of a Jam tribute. The band veer towards the mediocre with "You're Not Alone" and "Technodanceaphobic," but the stronger material easily overshadows the fillers, making this an accomplished debut. --Danny McKenna

 best album of the new millenia !!! July 21, 2008
forget reviews from self-conscious indie types- this is the best album
to come out of ANY genre for years !! Just buy it and find out for yourself. I just hope they can produce a second album of comparable quality !
 Music for the indie masses July 17, 2008
Was going to give 1 star, but felt a bit harsh......This is the music that all the new indie people feast on....Oh they are so much like me, they like beer and aggro and Football factory etc etc etc......Yawntastic music for the sheep who love it because it's the law! Do yourself a favour and step out of the bubble and try something new! Anything!!! SO much music is out there.....don't be afraid!

Dont bother with this album, the first time i heard it i really thought it was a new Jam album, a really bad new Jam album as well. Buy the Jams greatest hits instead. I dont understand why NME can possibly say this band is new and unique, there is nothing new about what this band is doing. Dont buy this!!
 Great Stuff May 11, 2008
The album starts off in electric fashion with the fantastic 'Aggro' and the quality of songs never lets up. First single 'Away from here' follows and provides a great sing-a long chorus. 'Pressure' shows that the band can really play their instruments as they let rip on a fantastic song. 'Had Enough' slows things down a bit but once again provides a great chorus. 'We'll Live and Die in These Towns' is next up and gives a great acoustic platform for the band and provides a real highlight of the album. The powerful song 'You're not alone' follows and brings back the electric sound and it will stay in your head. 'its not ok' is the last highlight of the album and a worthy single earlier in the year. The last 4 songs 'This Song, 40 days and nights, happy birthday jane and technodanceaphobic' are all good songs but only 'this song' stands along side the rest of the album!
Buy it now!
