English rockers Enter Shikari have released a new video for the song “Slipshod,” and have announced 2015 tour dates, which includes a tour around the US.
The video, made by one-time animator for Ren & Stimpy, Peter McAdams, features the band screaming about bad service at a high-end restaurant.
The song isn’t featured on the band’s upcoming album The Mindsweep, but will be available as a bonus track on iTunes. The album is set for release January 20th, 2015 via Hopeless Records. Following the release of their new album, Enter Shikari will kick off their spring tour at Never Say Never Festival in Mission, Texas. Then, the band will make it’s way to the East coast, followed by a trip to Canada and back down the West coast, to conclude back in Texas.
Enter Shikari’s new album The Mindsweep, has already received critical acclaim from other parts of the world, with NME naming “Never Let Go of the Microscope,” an essential new track, and Rock Sound calling the album, “The aural equivalent of a thousand-strong march through the capital.”
Also, the band has been awarded Best Live Band by both Kerrang! and the Association of Independent Music.
The band formed back in 2003 in Hetfordshire, England, and used their creative blend of sub-genres to establish themselves. Enter Shikari spoke with Music Glue about the band’s DIY approach to their music and their relationship with their fans, the band stated, “Once you’ve got fans, treat them with respect. They’re not a cash-machine which spits money out by pressing the right combination of buttons, they’re human beings with a million other options for how they spend their money.”
The band’s latest album, The Mindsweep, is out in January, and the band will be invading the US with a state-wide tour throughout the spring.
