St Albans, Hertfordshire, England (2003 – present)
Enter Shikari are a four-piece post-hardcore band from St Albans, Hertfordshire, England formed in 2003. Inspired by hardcore (in both punk-rock and dance genres), metal and trance.
Despite being offered several major label record deals, their debut album Take To The Skies was released on their own label - Ambush Reality - in March 2007, reaching the dizzy heights of #4 in the UK’s official Album Charts and going on to sell over 100.000 copies in the UK (the album was released in Europe through PIAS, in North America on Ambush Reality / Tiny Evil, and in Japan on Hostess).
In March 2008, after spending 12 months on the road across the globe, Enter Shikari set up camp in their rehearsal room (a large shed in Chris Batten’s back garden which they christened “The ‘Low”) to begin writing tracks for their second album such as
Antwerpen which was released as a free digital-download from the band’s website.
In July they played to their largest live audience at the UK date of Linkin Park’s ‘Project Revolution’ travelling festival alongside JayZ, Pendulum and N*E*R*D, as well as playing several shows with Linkin Park in mainland Europe.
Enter Shikari followed a UK / Ireland tour in October 2008 with the release of a one-off single ‘We Can Breathe In Space, They Just Don’t Want Us To Escape’ (a finished version of a track the band demoed in 2005 but never got around to ever finishing properly until the summer 2008).

Take to The Skies flows so much better than Common Dreads, but some songs off of Common Dreads own most of the songs on the other album =/

Common dread has got so much dubstep influences its unreal, the shuffled triplets in the drum beats, the deep bass wobbles, and they have blended it well with metal!

Hey guys both Common dread and take to the skies are brilliant. But I must admit that common dread is much much more serious.. more adult may be. Damn it really rocks

''I must say, I really like Common Dreads. Better than the average screamo shit out there. At least's it's different.'' lol your charts make this pseudo-opinion invalid
