The Enemy - We Live and Die In These Towns (Warner)

MAKE no mistake, there isn't a glimmer of cod-sentiment to Tom Clarke's lyrics when dishing out the working class 'nowt to do round here' polemic on We Live And Die In These Towns.

As society basks in an urbanite apartment living, image conscious narcissism, Clarke counters with a blunt utilitarian reminder; championing the near forgotten postcodes in the back of beyond - where burnt out mattresses on an old gasworks hardstand are the adventure playgrounds and theme parks for the working class.

What The Enemy do - and do well - is take this angst, and bridle it with a fist-in-the-air terrace chant of a chorus that will stay in your head for days.

To talk-the-talk you have to have walked-the-walk and The Enemy prove on both counts to be the real deal with this stunning release.

Released on December 3
