In a 2008 interview recounting his career, Charlie had this to say about the formation of "The Enemy", a band formed after his stint with the "Joe Perry Project" ...
"Dave (Hull) and I started looking for a new lineup and format that would work. Allen Devine came in to play guitar, a great writer and guitarist, and he reminded me of a cross between George Harrison and Jeff Beck. Alan has his own band and still making great, original music — a real artist.
But soon we pulled most of the Balloon guys back because so much was already in place with those relationships: Ken Kalayjian on lead guitar, Dave Hull on bass, Bob Sutton on Drums, and we added Paul Curran on keys. We were instantly very popular regionally, packing clubs around New England, and doing opening slots for larger bands like Aerosmith, The Smithereens, Blue Oyster Cult, Twisted Sister, Joe Cocker, etc. We had a regional radio hit with 'America Rocks.’ The Enemy did a live concert in the street in Worcester that was aired on TV38 and simlucast on WAAF."
