We know it’s not summer anymore – but we wanted to remind everyone what a great summer it was.

Tom Middleton takes us round Bestival to his tracks – “Sense is Real” and “Starq”

Big thanks to Matt “Smivadee” Smith for editing the video…

After you guys chose Lovelle as the UK ambassador on the Pepsi-back Akon single “Oh Africa”, the time has finally come!

On Sunday (31st January), the single will be released, and we all hope it gets to number one!

The song, featuring Akon and Keri Hilson (pictured with Lovelle, right) is giving proceeds from the sales to helping underprivileged African youth. Akon’s Konfidence Foundation, (Konfidence.org), will be one of the main charities set to receive a portion of the proceeds.

Check out konfidence.org to download the track, and check back here next week for more information and videos!

Hey Pepsi Maxcasters!! We hope you’re dandy and can’t wait to see you all on out upcoming UK tour (check our website for dates www.theenemy.com). We are sure they’ll be lots of crazy moments in the next few weeks but all this talk of touring has got us feeling all misty eyed about past tours! We’ve been looking through some old tour snaps and have complied a little album for you to have a look at and that will hopefully give you a little flavour of what touring with The Enemy is like. The pics include photos from Beachbreak, Glastonbury, Ibiza Rocks (we love IBIZA- want to be there now!!!!) and Summersonic in Japan- mad and wonderful place. Oh and there’s one of some clowns (it’s not us in disguise, honest! We just like clowns) plus check out the pic of two of road crew after Andy and Liam had chucked them in the pool in Ibiza! Hilarious! Adios and see you on the road! Tom, Liam and Andy

Liam from The Enemy’s Tour Essentials

• The most important is mobile phone!
• iPod
• Spare chargers because Andy will steal them!
• Lots of t shirts, socks and boxers
• Flip flops for the venue showers!
• Gold Bond coz someone will have an extreme case of beer bum!
• Fully stocked washbag – tour is a sweaty process
• Immodium tablets – for when your on the motorway, on the bus and get some inevitable stomach problems. Tour bus rule is no solids, even if you think its runny enough!
• DVD’s – Partridge, The Office, Brass Eye and Human Remains!
• Deck of cards and some poker chips – quickest way to lose your PD’s
• Tour itinerary – to stop you pi**ing the tour manager off and asking a million questions!

(All held together in a bag sturdy enough to be abused and thrown around for a month!)
