Enter Shikari - Yay or Nay?

[Bwaaa]

So, what do you think? From what i've heard in my group of friends they seem to have a definite case of the Marmite effect. Rock/Techo/Dubstep/"Screamo"/Metal/Rap? I don't even know. But I love them more than all other bands I like combined.

Take a listen if you don't know them. (Occasional "colourful" language, be warned.)

Motherstep/Mothership Live - Best live perfomance I have ever witnessed. The heavy dubstep at the start of the song isn't usually there.

Juggernauts - Probably their most "mainstream" track?

Zzzonked - My personal favourite.

Kickin' back on the surface of your cheek - Absolute anthem.

 

[Semple]

Used to like them, seen them live as well. Not listened to in a while though.

 

[R0B75]

I listen to them now and again and quite like them. I wouldn't mind seeing them live if I got the chance.

I do like Zzzonked, The Jester, Antwerpen, Wall, Juggernauts, Thumper and quite a few others. When I've had it playing in my car various passengers have commented by saying "what the...?"

 

[SixTwoSix]

Like most people thought they were a joke, then I saw them supporting 30STM in december last year and I was blown away, quite the live band!

 

[NeverWinter]

I listen to them, haven't paid them much attention recently, I really like Juggernauts though.

 

[Lokai]

Saw them live at projekt revolution a few years back and thought they where excellent.

 

[xb8browney]

I haven't listened to them in a long time. I did go to see them back in 2006 though.

 

[THMRK]

Their first EP showed a lot of promise and they were pretty killer live in the early days.

But then they just turned into a total mess. Those electronica elements turned into really bad Drum n bass and dubstep bits, and suddenly Rou started "rapping" but by then they'd become an awful, awful bad.

"anything can happen in the next half hour"

WHAT
A
TUNE.

 

[Bwaaa]

Their live performances have massively improved over the past few years, Rou's vocals have improved no end. New album is showing a lot of promise if Destabilise is anything to go by

 

[Street]

I saw them last year supporting The Prodigy and was actually quite surprised. Not really heard of them much before but thought they played a decent gig..

I do quite like Zzzonked though!

 

[Puppetmaster]

Ive been into them probably since around 2007 i think. I saw them live in 2009 @ Download and i was blown away. They are probably one of the best bands I have seen live, such an energetic feel.

 

[xBLiNG]

The old stuff was great and I love them live, seem them five or six times, but the new stuff I'm not very keen on.

 

[evanswolves82]

Nay, saw the supporting The Prodigy at the Warriors Dance Festival, thought they were rubbish

 

[Garee]

Yay. Although the first album was superior to me!

 

[Brian8bit]

Nay. Started out sounding like a poor imitation of Pitchshifter and then just got continually worse.

 

[G|mp]

Yay, I've always wanted to enter Shakira.

Oh wait..............

 

[Guest2]

They are awesome live. A Shikari moshpit is quite brutal

A Shikari moshpit is quite brutal

Ever been to a Gallows show?

 

[Guest2]

Ever been to a Gallows show?

Yes, Gallows at leeds fest last year. Awesome. 'Human pyramid' and clearing a whole side of a the tent, getting everyone run out and to the other side, then charge accross! cue about 100 people being stampeded

Went to an Emmure gig on tuesday that was pretty heavy. Ninja pit for the win!
