YFE Family Reunion

Family has always been a very important part of Your Favorite Enemies… spending countless hours on Myspace sharing with people and building relationships.  Back in 2007, after a couple of shows at the Vans Warped Tour it was time for family and YFE was getting ready to live their very first YFE Family Reunion organized by our dear friends and family from the States… Not knowing what to expect, joy and excitement prevailed and we were just so happy to finally meet in person the people we had been sharing with for months!!   Continue Reading

Vans Warped Tour…

The Vans Warped Tour is a monumental event in North America (and now even in the UK!)… With a summer tour that lasts all summer long, different bands, different stages, it is always a privilege and an honor for a band to play there… for Your Favorite Enemies this was no exception! They had wanted to play the Warped Tour for a long time, and when they were invited for the Toronto and Montreal edition in 2007, they were really ecstatic. They spent countless hours rehearsing in the pit, getting ready for this!

It wasn’t the first time that YFE was at the Warped Tour, though… They had already been there for the 2 previous years with the non-profit “Rock’N’Rights” organization founded by Alex and Jeff, promoting human rights. You could easily recognize them with their orange jumpsuits, the same they wear in american prisons. They were, without a doubt, catching people’s attention. Because of their colors, of their meaning and because it was complete nonsense to wear this under such a burning hot sun! Continue Reading

YFE’s Pit

Back in 2007… That was such a long time ago, don’t you think so? At least, to me, it seems like it was a totally different period of time… Around this time of the year, 5 years ago, is however a time that I will never forget…

The band was about to go on stage at the Vans Warped Tour… Well, that was the Vans Warped Tour alright, but nobody was wearing Vans shoes just yet! At that time, I can’t even remember what the guys wore … On stage, it was all about Doc Martens… That, I can remember very very well… Though they must have been wearing other brands, too, I am unable to name any of them… lol! Hmm… Let’s see… Sef was wearing slippers. Brandless slippers. This I am sure of! Continue Reading

The truth about YFE…
Back in 2007, testimony

Back in 2007, the testimony of one of the first people we ever met from MySpace… The band was only starting then, but already, there was a strong connection with the people we met over MySpace… I can perfectly remember the very start of it… The creation of the MySpace page, with the background picture we revealed to you last week. From the very beginning, Your Favorite Enemies have formed a love story with their fans, who became friends, brothers, sisters…

And as a family, Your Favorite Enemies have welcomed a lot of people in their house. People from all around the world. People who had their own stories, backgrounds, cultures and languages… but always one thing in common: a passion for music, a desire for something real, something else than the fake plastic shit we’ve been given for too long… Continue Reading

Backlit Memories
The Band’s First Photo Shoots

The very first picture that ever appeared on Your Favorite Enemies’ MySpace page… That was back in 2007… If not before??? I am not sure exactly… But I know that this is a long, long time ago!!!!

That picture has been taken in Varennes’ church, city where the band was living at the time… I never realized it before… But now, looking at this, it amazes me how the band went to doing a photo shoot in a church to living in a church…

I mean… Who would ever think of having his own studio inside of a catholic church? Playing there, with speakers all around you, with more guitars than you can count, and with distortion? We’re talking catholic church here! This is not a sight you see every day! Yet, here we are, today, years after this picture was taken, in our very own catholic church turned into a studio… Where distortion is a daily canticle… Continue Reading
