Enter Shikari

Enter Shikari are an English rock band formed in St Albans, Hertfordshire, known for aggressively blending genres — pulling together post-hardcore, electronicore, metalcore and alternative rock with elements of trance, dubstep and drum and bass. The band's core lineup features vocalist Roughton «Rou» Reynolds, bassist Chris Batten, drummer Rob Rolfe and guitarist Liam «Rory» Clewlow, with Reynolds also handling much of the electronic production and synth work that defines the band's identity.

Over a string of studio albums, the band's sound has evolved considerably while retaining a restless, genre-defying energy and a reputation for intense live performances. Lyrically they engage heavily with social, political and economic themes, giving their music a strong activist streak alongside its sonic experimentation.

Enter Shikari occupy a distinctive space at the intersection of heavy rock and electronic dance music, influencing a generation of bands willing to cross genre boundaries, and remain known for a DIY, independent-minded approach to their career.
