About Enter Shikari
Enter Shikari is a post-hardcore band from St Albans, UK, formed in 1999.
Enter Shikari began as Hybryd in 1999 and took their current name in 2003, with Rou Reynolds on vocals and electronics, Chris Batten on bass, Rory Clewlow on guitar and Rob Rolfe on drums. They built their following through relentless gigging and self-released their 2007 debut, Take to the Skies, on their own Ambush Reality label.
Later albums such as Common Dreads, A Flash Flood of Colour and The Mindsweep moved further into electronic production, with Reynolds writing openly political lyrics about climate, inequality and the state of public life. Their shows mix breakdowns, synth drops and crowd chants in roughly equal measure.
