The Enemy’s frontman Tom Clarke has spoken of the "huge" sound the band have captured on their forthcoming second album.

The band are currently in Wales recording the follow up to their 2007 debut 'We'll Live And Die In These Towns', and Clarke told the Daily Star that he's so pleased with the way sessions have gone that he's not feeling any pressure whatsoever.

"We know we are making something good so there's no need for second album nerves," he said.

"Just imagine the first record has grown a set of bollocks and has got some stubble. It's more worldly and the tunes have more depth. We wanted it to sound huge."

Clarke also admitted he was "absolutely buzzing" at the prospect of The Enemy supporting Oasis on their UK stadium tour next summer.

"Noel Gallagher is my hero of the year for asking us to support him," Clarke said.

"Everyone expects us to be nervous but the bigger the event, the bigger the thrill. Nerves don't come into it. You get a massive shot of adrenaline – that's the pay-off.

"We're going to go on, play our gig, get our rush of adrenaline and then go watch Oasis and Kasabian – what a shit job!"
