Enter Shikari is a UK sensation that I was not familiar with but I was tipped off by our pals at Earshot Media that they had been added to their impressive roster.
So as I ask around I find that not only has the Magpie heard of them but shes a fan.
Rather than ask her opinion I venture to their myspace myself.
I wont look. I have an absurd love of British boys, so its best I not go all shallow.
Expecting pop punk fun imagine my surprise at what I heard.
Ladies and Gentlemen, we have British screamers.
The song ‘Thumper’ is a techno throat ripping confusing shake. They seem mad, but there is a fantastic crowd able sing along midway. I like it its almost theatrical in its presentation.
I wonder actually if the lead singer has theatrical training. Just the force of voice leads me to believe that this projection isn’t born of a garage in St Albans UK.
“Solidarity”, starts off as a twitter good time with some power stance guitar action, the twitter running in the background adds a near Star Wars quality to this.
How to describe? I cant.
Technoscreamotheatercore?
But they do have that guttural growl that I absolutely adore. Sexy as hell.
This is unique to say the least, amongst the genre. I’m excited to see how Earshot will guide these guys.
They don’t fit in a slot, they’re going to appeal to a rather diverse group.
Should I look? Of course!
Woooo nice.
Enter Shikari…..not Shakira
Awesome find.
