One of the first bands featured here, The Strumbellas, released a new single earlier this year that is just great. While the band was on hiatus during 2020, lead singer Simon Ward wrote Greatest Enemy as a way to reflect on his internal battles during a rough year that involved a cancelled tour even before the pandemic started. Not only has this song a great message, but it also is anthemic as hell. It’s impossible to listen to that chorus and resist the urge to sing or hum along. What I really love about this tune is that it doesn’t sound like I’ll Wait at all while being just as good. They weren’t just trying to repeat the same formula.
Greatest Enemy‘s music video is worth a watch as well. It was created by Toronto-based animator Luca Tarantini and it is aligned with the song’s concept of battling your own demons. Watch it below.

A wonderful anthemic song by this lovely band.
I totally agree. Apologies for the delay, I had been sick. Thanks, as always!
No need to apologize. Glad you’re feeling better.
