HIGHLY rated indie band JAWS is set to join The Enemy and The Twang at the O2 Academy Bournemouth December 9.

The Birmingham four-piece are now making waves outside of their hometown with support from the likes of BBC Radio 1’s Huw Stephens and their tracks featuring on TV shows, Made In Chelsea and Match Of The Day.

JAWS frontman Connor Schofield told the Daily Echo: “We’re super happy to be a part of the tour.

“It’s going to be fun to play in places we’ve never been and try to win over some new fans. Looking forward to it.”

Phil Ettheridge, of The Twang praised JAWS’ debut album, Be Slowly, adding: “One of my most played records this year... if you haven’t heard ‘em yet, you’re about to discover your new favourite band.”

After three top 10 albums, of which The Enemy’s debut We’ll Live and Die in These Towns shot straight to number one in the UK album charts (2007) and numerous chart single successes, The Enemy have ripened into something special.

Three young musicians who are in it for their love of music, their latest mini-EP, Magic, is their first new material in over two years as they head towards releasing album number four later this year.

“This is the perfect way to round off a great year of touring and a good opportunity for us to prepare for the next chapter of music next year,” says The Enemy’s Tom Clarke.

The Twang also continue their triumphant return to form with their brand new fourth album NEONTWANG, which was released earlier this year.

The core trio of Phil Etheridge, Saunders and bass player Jon Watkin remain, with the creative additions of drummer Ash Sheehan and new writing partner and guitarist, Jon ‘Simmo’ Simcox.

l The Enemy, The Twang and JAWS play the O2 Academy Bournemouth on December 9.
