The band has already taken on every aspect of their career all on their own. Including:
1. Designing their own website
2. Purchasing and securing numic.com /.org / and .net
3. All artwork for flyers and promotional supplies
4. Booking shows
5. Making videos
6. Managing stage shows
7. Creating hot selling merchandise i.e. hats, shirts, etc
8. Web based promotions
9. The members of Numic even built their own pro-grade recording studio in the heart of the Napa Valley to record their own albums. It was there in early 2005 they recorded Recrudescent Feed. The album was produced, mixed, engineered and paid for duplication by band members. It went on to become a critically acclaimed success. With a dew outstanding press reviews and tons of great buyer / listener reviews, the record continues to sell like hotcakes. Even with almost no radio play other than a few late Sunday nights on KSJO (before the stations demise in late 2004) and on KRXQ 98.5 Local Licks in Sacramento, the album seems to have taken on a life of its own with word of mouth. Purchased by way of Myspace and CDBaby or out of the back seats of cars.
The sound of Numic has been heard / seen / felt mostly in Northern California in places such as Slims-SF, The Boardwalk-Sac, California State Fair, Phoenix Theater-Petaluma and The Whiskey A go go- Hollywood. With every show their audience is growing larger and more inspired. But in the beginning to give a sort of kick start, Numic purchased and restored a 1965 GM Greyhound bus. Converted into a tour bus, the vehicle was used to shuttle an average of 20-30 fans to out of town shows.
In August of 2005, Numic's song Thrown Away was featured on Sacramento Rocks vol. 12 A compilation CD featuring the best bands of Sacramento and benefiting the Mustard Seed School for homeless children.

My enemy
Numic Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
it's time to rethink how long you're
giving up on life
your seclusion has brought the world down
don't you blame me
I'm not the reason your fucking eyes don't see
the social-phobic, the maleficent cries
(Chorus)
Get this through your head and back around again
stick this up your ass and out your mouth and then
become my enemy
pacing so much time waiting
it's just a failsafe form for giving up on life
(repeat pre-chorus and chorus)
listen, listen well my enemy my enemy
hold this wreck you've kept
I'll mold you better than you were
all we came to witness
is this attack on you affinity
(repeat chorus and pre-chorus
The song "My Enemy" by Numic seems to be addressing someone who is struggling with a sense of isolation and disconnection from the world around them. The first verse suggests that this person has been holding onto a feeling for too long and needs to reconsider how they are approaching life. The singer acknowledges that the person's seclusion has had a negative impact on their ability to see clearly, but also implies that the person is responsible for their own situation, not anyone else.
In the chorus, the singer tells the person to "become my enemy," suggesting that they should challenge the singer rather than continuing to retreat from life. This is echoed in the second half of the song, where the singer seems to be offering a sort of tough-love intervention to help the person "mold" themselves into a better version of who they are.
Overall, "My Enemy" seems to be about the struggle to connect with others and find meaning in life, with the singer urging the listener to take responsibility for their own circumstances and make a change.
