RETURN FOR FALL U.S. TOUR
AFTER SOLD-OUT GIGS AND RAVE REVIEWS DURING
NINE-COUNTRY TREK AROUND THE GLOBE
OVERSEAS DATES WITH THE PRODIGY
TO FOLLOW
BAND PERFORMS“JUGGERNAUTS” AND “ANTWERPEN”
ENTER SHIKARI have partnered with DGC/Interscope–through their own U.K. label Ambush Reality–to officially release their new album COMMON DREADS in U.S. stores this coming spring 2010. The group digitally released the album this past June, and ALTERNATIVE PRESS magazine offered up this praise in an early review:
"At their most ambitious (‘Solidarity’), ENTER SHIKARI manage some unholy amalgam of the Streets' Mike Skinner, the Prodigy, nü metal, screamo and what sounds like the London Boys Choir, with each element cranked to 11 on the bombast meter. Songs like ‘Juggernauts’ (one of the year's best singles, with singer Rou Reynolds sounding not just defiant, but terrified, as he goes toe-to-toe with imperialism) and "Wall" should not only turn stadiums into mosh pits–they throw the more abrasive stuff (the grime-through-a-cracked-looking-glass ‘Zzzonked’) into sharper relief. You'd have to be one black-hearted bastard not to smile when Reynolds bellows earnestly, ‘It's glorious outside.'"
(Dan LeRoy, August 2009)
Mojo: “A portentous Star Wars-styled spoken intro about the evils of consumerism segues into big metal riffs on ‘Solidarity,’ Mike Skinnerish raps on ‘Juggernauts,’ then drum’n’bass breaks, euphoric rave keyboards, church choirs and anthemic choruses, all sung with a committed vocal ferocity by Roughton Reynolds. The end effect is like an ADD-compiled mixtape about the ills of globalization, and therefore possibly the true sound of the British suburbs, 2009.”
