ALBUM REVIEW: Enter Shikari – A Kiss For The Whole World
Ever since their original EPs dating back to the start of the 21st Century, Enter Shikari have been one of the stand-out bands of the alternative UK scene for bringing together a variety of sounds under a single uniform. Not only being one of the more experimental bands in their field but also one of the only bands to showcase these genres in a fully realised art form that just, quite simply works. Now twenty years on, the band’s Spark (see what I did there) has not faltered at all. It’s been incredible to see this journey showing the group adding more and more genres to their arsenal. In the prior two albums, Enter Shikari have shown they’re more than able to dip into Brit-Pop to classical with ease. The ever-present question that lingers on after each release is: what could the band do next?
ALBUM REVIEW: You Me At Six – Truth Decay
You Me At Six is now encroaching upon their twentieth year of being a band. With seven albums under their belt to show for their work, what else does the band have left to showcase to the world? In the past, the band has shown that they are willing to stray into other genres. The previous album, Night People ‘was a foray into the world of indie-rock, taking inspiration from their peers in the likes of Royal Blood and The Black Keys. Continue reading

CONCERT REVIEW: Enter Shikari – Can’t Swim Live at Bowery Ballroom
Enter Shikari just completed a brief run of USA tour dates, for their “Stop The Clocks Tour”.

They were joined for this USA tour by up and coming rockers Can’t Swim, who clearly have big things in front of them.
Enter Shikari – Palaye Royale – Black Peaks: Live at O2 Academy, Leicester (UK)
Putting together a good bill is a difficult task. Sometimes the stars can align, schedules are free and the world gets Trivium with Code Orange, Power Trip and Venom Prison. Other times you get Dizzee Rascal supporting Muse. Yes, that did actually happen. When a band as fluid with genre boundaries as Enter Shikari announces a tour, wild speculation breaks out about who will be joining them, or indeed, why a certain band is on the bill. Tonight is no exception as a varied line up graces the frequently gig-bereft Leicester City.Continue reading

Video: Enter Shikari Release Brand New Song – Redshift
Enter Shikari released a new video for their brand new single ‘Redshift’ on Annie Mac’s BBC 1 show last night. You can watch the video for ‘Redshift’ at this link or below:
Enter Shikari is still on the road supporting both 2014s The Mindsweep and 2015s companion album The Mindsweep Hospitalized. ‘Redshift’ is produced by the band and producer Dan Weller, and mixed by Tim Bran (London Grammar, La Roux, The Verve). The video directed by Mike Tyler (previous ES videos or ‘Anaesthetist’ and ‘Torn Apart’).
Rou Reynolds comments:
“Redshift is a song about bloody good luck! On the grandest of scales! Literally! Our universe is expanding faster and faster and a few trillion years from now, everything will have sped away from us so fast that all we would see when looking out from Earth is empty space. We would deduce that we were totally alone in the universe. A lost sheep. The last and only biscuit in the tin”
Enter Shikari is heading out on tour in the UK with The Wonder Years and the freshly-reformed original line-up of The King Blues. They will play bigger venues than at any time in their career and will utilize quadrophonic sound design at every show. This will be followed up by a tour of Germany with The Qemists and Modestep on different halves of dates.

Video: Enter Shikari Prepare Remix Album, Video for Anaesthetist
Enter Shikari have teamed up with respected drum & bass music Hospital Records for a remix album, titled The Mindsweep: Hospitalized due on October 30th from Hopeless Records. You can watch the first video for Reso’s remix of ‘Anaesthetist‘ at this link or below:
The Mindsweep: Hospitalised is a track by track reworking of The Mindsweep (Hopeless), done by some of the biggest names in drum and bass from Hospital Records such as Metrik, S.P.Y, Danny Byrd, London Elektricit, Keeno and more.
Vocalist Rou Reynolds commented on the album:
“We’ve always been big on our B-sides and remixes. With every album, we’ve always tried to get a load of drum & bass remixes done. Hospital-wise, we did one with High Contrast around the time of our second album Common Dreads, for instance. While we were making The Mindsweep we started the idea of having a consolidated collection of just d’n’b tracks. Because The Mindsweep is such a varied album we just thought it’d be quite interesting to see what a drum & bass take on each track would be, and Hospital’s the one label that I personally have been into forever.”

01. The Appeal & The Mindsweep I (Metrik remix)
02. The One True Colour (Keeno remix)
03. Anaesthetist (Reso remix)
