NewEnemy

Formed in late 2024, New Enemy is a Dublin-based alternative rock band known for their explosive sound, genre blending intensity and exhilarating live shows.Fusing elements of alternative rock, emo, nu-metal, and post-hardcore, the band delivers a raw and emotionally charged take on the 2000s alt rock revival.

Drawing inspiration sonically from My Chemical Romance, Bring Me The Horizon, Linkin Park, and AFI, New Enemy infuses their music with searing punk riffs, crushing breakdowns, and anthemic choruses.

Their sound balances the aggressive edge of post-hardcore with the melodic sensibilities of emo, resulting in a style that’s both nostalgic and fiercely modern.

The band is fronted by Ashley Strong-McCann (vocals), with John Collard (bass/vocals), Shay English (guitars), and Veronika Svecova (drums), completing the lineup.

They’ve already played large venues like Opium Dublin (supporting Di Ferrero, 600+ capacity), Siege of Limerick, and Outkastz, with many more shows in the pipeline for 2026.

In summer 2025, New Enemy released their debut single “Take Me Away,” which was mixed by award-winning music producer Alex Copp (As December Falls, Chaidura, Stay Safe) and mastered by Grant Berry at Fader Mastering (Busted, The Maine, Boston Manor).

Looking ahead in April 2026, New Enemy plan to release their new single “303” mixed by award-winning music producer Alex Copp (As December Falls) and mastered by David McGeary (Haunted Images). The single sets the tone for a busy year ahead, with plenty more to come from the band in 2026.
