Following the release of Common Dreads, the new album by Enter Shikari; the St. Albans-based quartet have announced October dates for 2009.

Common Dreads was born in a back garden shed in St. Albans after a mental two years in the lives of these young men. Produced by Andy Gray (who has not only worked with U2, Korn and Tori Amos, but penned that ubiquitous Big Brother theme music) some are already suggesting Common Dreads will come to define the era into which it was born: one of recession, paranoia, state control and the fallout of decades of accelerated capitalism. But – and this is important – also an era of hope and creativity, humanity, hedonism, irreverence and fun.

 

This revolution may not be televised, but it will certainly be amplified.  Just check out lead single ‘Juggernauts’, a song that is already eating it’s way through Britain’s radios and sending all the other songs running for cover.

 

Enter Shikari formed in 2003 and straight away, things got hectic and in summer 2006 Enter Shikari packed out the MySpace tent at Download festival on reputation alone and by November of that year had become only the second ever unsigned band to sell out the London Astoria.  Two sold nights at the Hammersmith Palais followed shortly afterwards.

 

This all happened away from the patronage of any of the big record labels. Enter Shikari did it themselves – the old way. The DIY punk way. Which is why, despite plenty of offers, they decided to release their debut album Take To The Skies on their own Ambush Reality imprint. When it cruised in at No. 4 it became one of the most successful self-released rock albums ever. That’s ever.

 

Accolades came thick and fast: the NME John Peel Award for Innovation in 2007, Kerrang! Awards (including Best Live Band), with sales of their debut now pushing 250,000 worldwide and frankly silly statistics, like the one about their single ‘Sorry, You’re Not a Winner’ having clocked up 6.3million plays on YouTube. More than anything though Common Dreads is an album destined to unite the tribes, divide the critics and thoroughly thrill anyone who has witnessed the mad live spectacle that is Enter Shikari.

 

Get on it.
