About Enter Shikari

Since their formation in St Albans in 2003, Enter Shikari have carved a unique and indelible path through the contemporary music landscape. They are not merely a band; they are a movement, a force of nature that has consistently challenged conventions and pushed sonic boundaries. Their sound, a potent and exhilarating concoction of post-hardcore aggression, blistering electronic beats, dubstep breakdowns, and anthemic, singalong choruses, has earned them a devoted global fanbase and critical acclaim. From their explosive debut album, Take to the Skies (2007), which threw them into the mainstream consciousness with its raw energy and political undertones, Shikari have refused to stand still.

Each subsequent release has seen them evolve, incorporating new influences and refining their signature sound without ever losing the visceral core that defines them. Albums like Common Dreads (2009) delved deeper into socio-political commentary, while A Flash Flood of Colour (2012) saw them embracing a more polished yet equally impactful electronic edge. Their artistic integrity has remained unwavering, evident in their relentless touring schedule and their commitment to delivering thought-provoking lyrics alongside their high-octane musicality.

Notable hits that have soundtracked the careers of their dedicated fans include the anthemic “Sorry You’re Not a Winner,” a rallying cry that perfectly encapsulates their early ferocity. The relentless energy of “Juggernauts” showcases their ability to fuse aggressive guitars with electronic wizardry, while the more melodic, yet still powerful, “Anaesthetist” from A Flash Flood of Colour demonstrated their growing maturity and songwriting prowess. Later tracks like “The Sights” from The Spark (2017) showcased a more expansive and atmospheric side, proving their continued ability to reinvent themselves. Across their discography, from the frenetic intensity of “Rat Race” to the poignant introspection of “Live Outside,” Enter Shikari consistently deliver music that is both cathartic and intellectually stimulating, cementing their status as one of the most vital and exciting bands of their generation.
