Enter Shikari

Another band that probably no one likes but me is Enter Shikari, one of the most fascinating bands I know. I could even say that they are something like my favorite band, which I do not really have because I listen to so many bands. They are a Bristish post-hardcore band and were formed in 2003. I did not know them back then but that was when I was 10 years old so I think that is understandable. ;)

Wikipedia says they are a post-hardcore band but I am not really sure about that. Enter Shikari is a very creative band. For me they sometimes sound like a straight metalcore band or hardcore band, then again they use all this electonic stuff so that a song sounds like dubstep. They even released one album called “Tribalism“ which consisted mainly of remixes of their former songs.

That I listen to a remix-album is rare enough, that I like it is an even rarer case.
What I find even more awesome than their music are their lyrics. Most of them are written by the singer, guitarist, pianist, celesta-player and electronics guy, Rou Reynolds. He must be a very fascinating person to talk to. His approach on society, environment issues, politics and many other things is very critical and refreshing. Some of their songs are just touching and give me hope.

The fist song of theirs I heard was “Sorry, you're not a winner” and I instantly liked it. It still took me quite a time to listen to their other stuff. Since 2009 I really listen to Enter Shikari and attend their concerts as often as possible! In 2012 the new album “A Flash Flood Of Colour” was released and I absolutely love it! The last song of the album is a very calm and thoughtful song. I dare to say that it maybe is my favorite song. If you listen to it, pay attention to the lyrics, these are the best part of the song in my opinion! :)
