Enemy Within Me
AFTER YEARS OF PLAYING AND RECORDING WITH MANY LOCAL BANDS, 2007 BROUGHT ABOUT THE CONCEPTION OF MY OWN BAND *ENEMY WITHIN*. WANTING TO COMBINE ELECTRONICA AND ROCK TO TAKE THE MUSIC IN A NEW AND EXCITING DIRECTION, *ENEMY WITHIN* HAS ACHIEVED CONSIDERABLE SUCCESS IN THE SHORT TIME IT’S BEEN ESTABLISHED. INCLUDING, A SELF RELEASED AND PRODUCED ALBUM *FLAWED*, SPENDING THREE MONTHS IN THE TOP TEN ON THE FUZZ ELECTRONIC ARTIST CHART, HAVING THREE TRACKS PLAYLISTED BY STEVE MORLEY ON HIS EUPHORIA STATION (SALEM WMWM 91.7FM) AND BEING ADDED TO COUNTLESS SOUNDCLICK RADIO STATIONS.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
