6) The Enemy was a 1980s British punk band that formed in their local youth club, with several changes of personnel before they stabilized the following year as Mark Woodhouse (vocals), Steve "Mez" Mellors (guitar), Steve O'Donnell (bass), and Mark Herrington (drums). They played their first gig at Woodlands Youth Centre, and landed a support slot on Anti Pasti's gig in Huddersfield. They recorded their first single, "50,000 Dead" at Old Cottage Studios in Derby, releasing it on their own Tin Tin label. The single was quite successful and led to the band being signed to Fall Out Records, debuting on the label with "Fallen Hero" in May 1982, which reached number 44 in the UK Indie Chart. "Fallen Hero", an anti-war song, was also included on the Punk and Disorderly volume 2 compilation which reached the indie top 10. The band's third single was less successful, and Mellor was replaced by Kevin Lamb of local punk band Total Loss, who livened up the band's live performances.
Debut album Gateway to Hell was issued in 1983 to much critical acclaim and respectable sales. Herrington left the band before the album was released, to be replaced by Dave Hill. The band toured around Britain in support of the album, but were dropped by Fall Out, and moved to the local Rot label (run by Riot Squad's Dunk) for their next single, "Last But Not Least", which was followed by an album of the same name (now featuring a fifth member, lead guitarist Phil Maw), with tracks split between a live recording from The Bierkeller in Leeds and studio tracks recorded at Cargo Studios in Rochdale. The album turned out to be The Enemy's final release, with disappointing sales and musical differences prompting the band to call it a day.
Drummer Dave Herrington is still involved in music, having worked with Apes Pigs & Spacemen, Neil Finn, and Johnny Marr, and as a member of Arnold.

The song "Pressure" by The Enemy is an energetic and upbeat track that urges listeners to embrace the pressures of life and let them motivate them rather than drag them down. The lyrics play with the concept of pressure in both a literal and metaphorical sense. The first stanza commands the listener to step into the pressure zone and encourages them to use the pressure as a means of bettering themselves. The repetition of the word "pressure" adds to the sense of urgency and immediacy, evoking a feeling of intensity and excitement.
The chorus introduces the character of a dancer who is working hard to achieve her goals. She is described as having the answer and always being a show to make your breath go faster. This could be interpreted as the dancer having the ability to inspire and invigorate those around her. The line "oh that she's always a show" could suggest that she is always performing or that her life is a spectacle, which ties back to the idea of embracing pressure and using it to achieve great things.
Overall, the song encourages listeners to face challenges head-on, and to rise to the occasion rather than shrink away from the pressure of life. The repetition of the word "pressure" throughout the song highlights the importance of this theme and creates a sense of momentum and urgency that propels listeners forward.

You missed a line out in the first prechorus (Another thorn in your side, let yourself go), Idon't know where you got "Pressure let it all slip away" from, plus its not "To see you now" its "It's easy you know" Also I think the Verse is "Pressure, pressure, step into the pressure don't let the, let the pressure get you" And you spelt breath wrong you put breathe. Btw I'm not just criticizing I'm trying to help :)
