Mark Strigl SiriusXM on air host of Ozzy’s Boneyard states:

“Close Enemies is the real deal—a group of insanely talented musicians including bassist/songwriter Tom Hamilton of Aerosmith. Their new tunes are packed with energy & emotion, and they absolutely blew me away live. This is a band that delivers on every level—don’t miss them!”

Dean Baldwin, Host on SiriusXM, FM2.0 & StrykTV states:

“A Power Pop revival is on the horizon—a return to an era when rock music was all about hooks, harmonies, and heart. Close Enemies’ latest single, Inside Out, is the perfect example of what I’m talking about – long live rock!”
