The Enemies "Seize The Day"

Lookout 278

The Enemies were a punk band from Oakland, California led by singer / guitarist Mike Pelino and featuring Dave Edwardson (Neurosis) on bass. This is their second full-length album, following up their split CD with Pitch Black, released on Lookout Records in 2001. "Seize The Day" shows how The Enemies continued to develop their refreshing original sound, gaining ingenuity and intensity. The music is dark, yet catchy and the melodic songs get stuck in your head while the powerful, hardcore sensibilities make you clench your fits and throw punches at the sky.

The Enemies & Pitch Black "Split"

Lookout 261

In 2001, Lookout released an all-new classic punk rock split record in the spirit of the Code Of Honor / Sick Pleasure split, the Faith / Void split and "The Shit Split" featuring Blatz and Filth (originally released on Lookout Records in 1991). This time around it was The Enemies and Pitch Black, two incredible East Bay bands. The Enemies are a dark yet melodic trio that successfully balances pop melody with hardcore sensibilities. The Enemies also features Dave Edwardson from Neurosis on bass. Pitch Black are an awesome broodingly brutal threesome that literally  blew up stages throughout the Bay Area with pyrotechnics, blood spitting, and smoke machines.
