Your Favourite Enemies- ‘Kerosene’ (Single- Hopeful Tragedy Records- 09/05/2013)


Your Favourite Enemies are an uncommon, band whose distinctive blend of sonic textures, introspective poetry and symbolism for their lyrics has gained them quite a following. The six-member band, who formed back in 2008 released new single ‘Kerosene’ on 9th May 2013 and it has been available to download for free ever since.

Each band member hails from a varying musical background, and the band’s variety of influences is obvious throughout the track. ‘Kerosene’ begins with a beautiful, guitar-driven melodic build up, which is impeccably produced. This proves the attention to detail that Your Favourite Enemies have utilised and that DIY methods can be incredibly effective. From beginning to end, the track is made up of varying tempos, styles and instrument leadership- constantly keeping the listener engaged, which is a strenuous task via an 8 minute piece.

Their sound is mature and well-established progressive rock with a gentle, emotional backbone that makes it appealing to an even wider range of music fans. The band is exceptionally creative and expressive and have managed to pin-point a strong, individual style that they’ve embraced and enhanced over the past few years, allowing them to grow as musicians and performers.

4/5
