I think they pull of the integration of electronic sounds into their music flawlessly. The Common Dreads album is my personal favorite and I cant wait to see them live this summer at Warped. Anyone else have any thoughts on them?

They come across as twats too. Although they get respect from me for their crowd surf stunt at Reading Fest last year, when they basically said to the crowd to all crowd surf over the barrier and literally like half the crowd did, search 'Enter Shikari Reading 2009' on youtube, it's nuts, was during Juggernauts I think.

Check out 'The Zone' EP. It kind of explains my user name. IMO great independent band, they're different. They combine elements of post-hardcore and electro which makes them so interesting and they carry a great political message.

I saw them live in December last year not long after hearing Common Dreads. I'd been a big fan of Sorry You're Not A Winner but generally speaking I was just not impressed by their electronic side, cause I was very metulz back then. I love Take To The Skies now, obviously. Common Dreads is still my favourite album, and if i'm lucky they'll play Belfast again this year. I'd highly recommend their Day 'N Nite cover, it's wicked.

That's all I've got to say, really. Probably the best album I've heard from 2009. Take To The Skies is good, but they didn't quite have their S**t together like they do now.

I saw them live on the Common Dreads tour and the take to the skies songs were far better. Apparently in the new live show they've got dub interludes and intros for older songs like Johnny Sniper and Mothership. They've played Belfast every year since '06 so I'm just really hopeful they play again this year.

I'm hoping they'll play one, or if i'm lucky two, tracks off the latest LP Triablism. Although it pretty much just consists of remixes, the self titled track and Thumper are both brilliant.

I hadn't heard We Can Breathe In Space prior to Tribalism; it's fucking lovely. All Eyes On The Saint is pretty damn pro too.

I have it now, though, I love it so far and I like what High Contrast did with Wall. Somewhat a fan of HC's solo work.
