    I bet some of you are like, who the hell are they?

    Well they are one of the hottest bands to hit the UK at the moment. Hype for them are huge. They aren't your ordinary rock band. They combine 2 very different genres, Hardcore Metal and Trance. On paper it doesn't work. But Enter Shikari have, and I must say it's sounds awesome.

    They are one of the first unsigned bands to sell out the London Astoria. Yes that is right, they are a unsigned band, they have refused all major record labels, and went by there own set up record label, Ambush Reality. So it's all done themselves. The hype for them are huge, if you go to my local high street and go to the area where are the goths/emos (You know what type of group) and do the three clap thing which is done in the song 'Sorry You're not a Winner' and everyone hanging out there will do it. It's quite fun to watch.

    Here are 2 of their songs:

    Sorry You're Not a Winner - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4MiC67seUY

    Anything Can Happen in The Next Half Hour... - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uimfKXgdUCQ

    It may take a bit to get used to the style and sound, at first when i heard about the hype for them, I thought they were alright, but i heard them more and more, and started to like more songs, and my sister is a fan of them and I thought they were pretty good, so the other day, I picked up thier first album which came out this week in the UK, and I love it. Truly if you hear it on your MP 3 player with your headphones, they are amazing. The sound is something so different.

    They are very well known for their fantastic live acts, so I would love to see them live, I heard it's amazing. My favourite songs are, the 2 I posted and 'OK Time for Plan B.'

    Enter Shikari are a great band. I hope they get big soon, but not too big that they become MTV Gold. :\

    Enter Shikari are an amazing band but...practically everyone likes them now and it's getting pretty annoying to hear some of their songs all the time :/
    But when they first got played on E4 Music (for people who don't know, it's a kind-of music channel here in England that's on for like half the day :/) I got a bit annoyed how they called them "Enter Shikeeri" ¬_¬ haha

    I like them, but not as much as I used to =[

    Enter Shikari D:

    idk if they've been posted up here before but.. what the hey XD

    extracted from Wikipedia.org:

    The band formed as an evolution from an earlier band, Hybryd and are notable for combining elements of trance, post-hardcore and screamo in many of their songs. All four members are from St Albans, England.

    Enter Shikari are known for their dedication to touring, already having taken part in hundreds of shows. They secured a spot on the Gibson/MySpace stage at 2006's Download Festival. They have also had interviews and garnered positive press from popular music press such as Kerrang! and Rock Sound, further augmenting their reputation as one of Britain's fastest-rising unsigned bands. On the November 4, 2006, they became only the second unsigned band to ever sell out London Astoria (the first being The Darkness).
