Comprised of musicians Rou Reynolds, Rory Clewlow, Chris Batten, and Rob Rolfe, Enter Shikari blends electro-punk-rock, post-hardcore, metalcore, and alternative metal to create their individual style. The band’s name comes from a character, Shikari, in a play that Reynolds wrote before forming the band in 2003. Shikari also means hunter in multiple languages.
Enter Shikari has received much praise across the UK and America. A Flash Flood of Colour debuted in the UK at the #1 spot on the charts and as #4 in the U.S. Top Rock Albums on iTunes. The album is meant to be a commentary on the modern age and the new generation of activists, while at the same time creating a frenzied soundtrack for the dance floor.
