A real phenomenon. In three months, Your Favorite Enemies has sold twenty thousand copies of the EP, "And If I Was To Die In The Morning… Would I Still Be Sleeping With You", sold via their online store: "It's really hard to size up people's reaction and the first sales day, we had so many orders that we thought it was a system error," recalls the singer Alex Foster. Following this more than positive greeting, the band even postponed the release of their first album until spring 2008: "For us, it was a way of keeping the EP alive, but also to favour concerts and to meet with people," explains the frontman. A growing community, Your Favorite Enemies has now more than ten street-teams throughout the world. A showcase enabling the band to get their message across with more intensity. Moreover, the singer has recently made a trip to Japan to "pay tribute to the people who started it all and give them back a little of what they gave us." The band is now getting ready to cross the ocean for their first tour in our lands. The tour will go through England, Germany, the Netherlands and France, on October 2nd at the Point Éphémère, in Paris. A meeting we won't miss.
