• Make Friends with The Enemies The Enemies are a five piece band from Drogheda, a large town near Dublin in Ireland. Formed in 2003, lead singer Ronan McQuillan and guitarist Colin O’Donoghue, adopted the name ‘The Enemies’, because of their previous history playing in rival bands in their teens. Starting out with a covers acoustic set, the band gradually grew their repertoire and band members, bringing in Martin Sheils on bass and Mark Montague on drums. In 2010 Colin O’Donoghue filmed the US box office number one movie, The Rite, starring alongside Anthony Hopkins. It was his success and the addition of Johnny Crean on guitar, which prompted the band to finally record their own material. Their first EP highlights the strong writing talents of Ronan McQuillan and Johnny Crean, influenced by other artists such as John Mayer, Steely Dan and even The Beatles. The Enemies are currently working on their debut album and have been hired by car giant Chevrolet and international brand Coca-Cola for their advertising campaigns.
