“Modulation” available for pre-order

Written by Your Favorite Enemies. Posted in News

We are glad to share that Sef Lemelin is coming up with his second solo album! Titled “Modulation”, the idea came from his 600 Times Digital Tour at the end of 2020.

He mentions: “I will always remember a specific moment during one of those live performances that I believe translates the heart of this musical project. Sounds and noises were raging all around me, like a violent storm and I could have stopped it at any moment. But I let it go for a brief moment when this thought came to my mind… The relief is not about stopping the storm, but deciding to let go, so that I can hear something different than what my senses perceived first. I believe this is what I could share with you all through this musical journey: hope and love. Despite everything raging all around us, we can imagine something different in our present!”

You can now hear “Courtage”, the new single off the album, set to release on May 28!

Alex Henry Foster Releases “Alive. Never Alone.” Face Masks

Written by Your Favorite Enemies. Posted in News

“Following the passing of a friend who recently lost a long battle against sorrows, along with your overwhelming demand for me to offer hand-crafted masks (which I wasn’t comfortable doing at first as I didn’t want to brand this terrible crisis nor did I want to make it a fashion statement), I decided to create the “ALIVE.” collection.

All the profits will go to “Suicide Action”, a Montreal organism, in order not only to honor my friend’s memory, but also to remind us all of the high importance to keep on believing in the ability for love and compassion to make a tremendous difference in our lives and that of others. It doesn’t take much light to conquer darkness…

If you need to talk, if you feel depressed, lost, or if you are fighting with desperation and hopelessness, please don’t hesitate to reach out, may it be to a friend or a stranger. There’s no need to walk alone in the darkness, whatever the reasons we may have to do so… Trust me… I know!”

New T-Shirt “Silence Is Murder” from Alex Henry Foster

Written by Your Favorite Enemies. Posted in News

In the light of the recent events and everything that is happening in the world, Alex Henry Foster has decided to release a new t-shirt. Titled “Silence Is Murder”, all the profits from the sales of the t-shirt until July 17 will go to Amnesty International.

Get Your T-Shirt Now

Here’s a text from Alex about the meaning behind the t-shirt:

Dear friends, 

I hope you are doing good, that your loved ones are safe and ok. 

The last few weeks have been emotional for us all, from the 84-year-old father of one of our friends and team member who contracted COVID-19 and ultimately won his battle after a terrible time fighting for his life, to the sickening images of George Floyd’s execution and the anger we were consumed with afterward, and all the way to our band rehearsals and the live stream moment we had the privilege to commune with you through our reinterpretation of the song Lavender Sky for our direct-to-vinyl project.


Regardless of how emotionally exhausted we were, that communal moment helped us turn any negative energy we were struggling with in an uplifting determination to keep on working towards the overcoming resolution of hatred and hopelessness we have all been facing, whoever we are and wherever we are from, for way too long… 


The wounds are deep, and I know that the only idea of being able to collectively oversee a possible future healing and a restorative process might currently seem like a utopian vision at best, but without this active faith in the upcoming establishment of a world made of equality for all, only violence will remain… And if there’s a thing we can learn from the past, it’s that violence has never healed anyone nor built anything for anybody. So I’d rather hold onto my transformative utopia at this point than feed an already implacable reality with any piece of my own faithlessness and discouragement. 

Therefore, in order to turn my disgust and indignation into a tangible and positive action, I decided to craft the t-shirt “Silence Is Murder” by offering all the t-shirt profits to Amnesty International, an organization I’ve been actively engaged with for more than a decade now. This is my way to support their education and awareness initiatives in schools and communities regarding the fundamental necessity for equality and human rights for all without exception.


It’s more than ever essential to take a moment to reflect, to stand, to speak out and build as one, so that one day, children won’t have to fight for their rights, but will be able to dream about what they’ll create for others with them.


Much love, 
Alex
