Enter Shikari to headline Astoria

Enter Shikari are the first unsigned band to headline the London Astoria since the now defunct The Darkness achieved the feat in 2003.

Having previously been slated to play the smaller sister venue next door The Mean Fiddler, on November 4, the young Hertfordshire quartet upgraded the show after tickets sold out earlier today. It is a quite marvellous achievement that has come from the band relentlessly touring every town in the land. The pocketful of gimmicks they come equipped with just smoothed the ride.

All existing tickets are valid for the upgrade, of course, and more have been put on sale. Also playing the gig are :( and Penknifelovelife.

ah right

well at least this might be the end for one godawful scene fashioncore band. i don't understand why the scene always latches onto these really horrible hardcore bands when there's some really awesome ones around..

Counterpoint!

when i heard they mixed hardcore and trance

i was hoping they would do stuff like the prodigy's 'no good' with death metal growling, instead of the high pitched singing. but, sadly no. they're just a shite hardcore band with a keyboard

To be honest

I was more interested in :( but I don't mind Enter Shikari as far as it goes... can see why they're not everyone's cuppa though.

Respec

People got none. Irrespective of whether it's your cup of tea, m**therf**ckers, this really IS a band doing it for themselves the underground way. At least recognise it and show some appreciation. Once upon a time it was metal that was the corporate whore, but today it's indie punk/pop like Razorsh**e. Whether this band are good or bad, it's sad that the principle is not respected... or do we no longer rage against the machine?
