**The Pleasures** don’t hold back on their long-awaited sophomore album, ***Enemy of My Enemy****.  *

Released today, this album finds **The Pleasures** in full flight, trading verses, stories, and lighting sparks across a record that wears its scars with pride.  It’s a collection that’s soulful, raw, and full of heart, with just the right amount of grit.  

Fronted by the magnetic pairing of **Catherine Britt** and **Lachlan Bryan**—** **two of Australia’s most revered voices in Americana and roots music—it’s impossible not to get swept up in their chemistry, tension, and undeniable charm. Rounding out the line-up is the powerhouse rhythm section of **Brad Bergen** on drums and **Damian Cafarella **on bass—together, **The Pleasures **are carving their own path and taking no prisoners…and they’re more than happy to take you along for the ride. 

The album kicks off with the title track and lead single—a riff-driven, raw-cut anthem.  As **Lachlan** puts it, the track  “*set the tone for how this record was made*.”

Recent singles ***Where The Money Goes*****, *****Let’s Go Again,**** *and ***Was It Something I Said?*** have all earned strong national airplay on ABC Radio and community stations.  And it’s not just on home soil—their music is also making waves on the U.S. Americana Radio airwaves and garnering rave reviews in the UK.

**ABOUT THE PLEASURES**

Formed around the unlikely and undeniable chemistry between acclaimed singer-songwriters Lachlan Bryan and Catherine Britt, The Pleasures have carved out a sound that is raw, raucous, and real—fuelled by unflinching songwriting and a potent blend of bluesy swagger, country soul, and rock ‘n’ roll. Joined by the powerhouse rhythm section of Brad Bergen and Damian Cafarella, the band first struck gold with their 2023 debut The Beginning of the End, an album that launched a two-year touring odyssey across Australia and beyond.

Since then, The Pleasures have graced stages at major festivals including Port Fairy Folk Festival, Out on the Weekend, Riverboats, Gympie Muster, Nannup, Dashville Skyline, and Maverick Festival (UK)—not to mention official showcases at both Folk Alliance International and AmericanaFest 2024.
