Track list In late 2010 the band announced they would release the "Breakwater" single and accompanying EP via the band's website. In support of this they also announced a UK tour with The View. The EP Was released in 2011. Angels and Enemies In early 2011 the band started writing new material for their follow-up to What Came From Fire, and headed into the studio with record producer Dave Eringa (Manic Street Preachers, Ocean Colour Scene, Idlewild) to record material for the album. The band recorded the album at The Distillery in Bath. The first single to be released from the album was "Silicon", released as part of an EP which included tracks that never made it onto the album, rare demos and acoustic tracks from What Came From Fire. Also as part of the EP the band teamed up with Pledge to offer exclusive one-off and VIP experiences, limited edition t-shirts, hand written lyric sheets and jam in rehearsals with band. All exclusive pledgers were given a free download of all of the tracks on the EP. The second single "Sometimes" was released on the same day as the album and has been championed by BBC Radio 1 (Zane Lowe) and XFM (Mary Anne Hobbs). The song "Sometimes" became a viral hit thanks to its appearance on the Martyn AShton Road Bike Party video. The song, along with "Alcatraz" is now associated with many extreme sports videos on YouTube including the Turbolenza: We are not crazy... WE ARE AMAZING! video. Angels and Enemies was released to critical acclaim. FMV Magazines Dan Jenko described the record as "an excellent return for Sound of Guns: one that not only gives their die-hard fans the crowd-pleasing anthems they wanted, but also provides another stepping stone as they attempt to break into the mainstream fold". The iTunes bonus track "Violets" was a fan favourite, yet was only played once at the band's final gig at Whitehaven Civic Hall on 11 October 2013. Track list Members Andrew
