A colourful track that stands out from the grey of today...
Halcyon days of youth high-school/college radio guitar-pop, The Hazy Janes have hit the spot with this little gem 'Your Enemy'. With the abundance of sludgy shitty stagnant punk-pop/emo/post-hardcore dross that's stuck on repeat on the airwaves and churned out sardonically by the laughing record companies reaping in the money money money these days, The Hazy Janes come across as a band born with this sound, whether the zeitgeist was floating around at the moment or not, one assumes they'd still be making this music, still writing this song.
And you can hear that in the song...
It's got the energy that fuels any band with integrity, regardless of genre, it's got the sense of eminent fun and enjoyment that you could always hear in the early Nirvana records, in Blink records. It's rife with first-rate pop hooks like you're hit with when you listen to The Beach Boys. Basically it's not Fallout Boy boring your head off with the same old four chords. You can't dismiss The Hazy Janes because something shines through on this record, something a lot of other bands don't possess, classy, true and strong music, to be discussed in the same breath as Ash or BellX1, not to be lumped with the losers still flogging a dead horse...
