Shikari returns to US for tour

UK sensations Enter Shikari return to the US announcing Coachella and SXSW. They're kicking it all off with a string of West coast dates this February!

“Already big in Britain, Enter Shikari bring a fresh twist to the frequently botched dream of rocktronica. Where The Prodigy merged rave dynamics with cartoon punk tantrums, Shikari mesh hacking guitar riffs with serenely celestial synth- ripples." Simon Reynolds, Blender Magazine

“Enter Shikari have no interest in staying obscure. The internet storming quartet wed hardcore punk’s most crowd-rallying elements-intense breakdowns and gang vocals – to the melodic buildup of that most populist of dance genres-trance.” Aaron Burgess, SPIN ***1/2

"Enter Shikari...have become the figureheads of a new anything-goes generation...Their marriage of both types of hardcore (techno and punk) and a flirtation with the trappings of rave culture have resulted in a unique combination that fuses the hard-hitting wide-eyed delivery of the Prodigy with the proto-screamo dynamics of Refused...." -Alternative Press
