Listening to Enter Shikari's aggressive mixture of hardcore punk and club-inspired electronica doesn't prepare you for their puzzling lack of ego. We've come to expect that two #1 singles in the UK and over eight million plays on MySpace might go to rockers' heads. How to explain Enter Shikari, then, except to say that they haven't yet realized just how big they've become. Initially spurned by major record companies, the band released the album,Take To The Skies, on its own Ambush Reality label.
I saw them in Cleveland a few months back. It was an amazing show, and the guys even stuck around after the set to chat with us. I can't wait to see them again!
