'Anything Can Happen In The Next Half Hour’ 5th March on Ambush Reality

The number of bands that would have the confidence to approach the 2000-capacity Astoria for a headline gig without a record deal, you could probably count on one hand. The number of bands that have managed to sell that venue out before even being signed you could count on two fifths of that same hand.

On November 4th 2006 Enter Shikari – Rou (vocals / electronics), Rob (drums), Chris (bass) and Rory (guitar) – put their full fee towards a top of the range laser lighting rig and went about delivering one of the gigs of the year, sending the convened masses into delirium and heralding the band’s arrival after three years of near-religious touring of the nation.

Having shunned the big-money major label deals and chosen to go it alone, Enter Shikari now release a new single ‘Anything Can Happen In The Next Half Hour’, continuing the already ingrained tradition of forging their own path into musical domination.

Bringing the term ‘euphoric’ kicking and screaming into 2007, ‘Anything Can Happen…’ alternates between gutteral screamo and soaring, melodic singing, while synths ebb and flow between the crunching riffs and powerhouse drums.

Enter Shikari’s debut album is scheduled for release on March 19th, an unruly but glorious collection of post–hardcore and melodic rock wrapped in moments of pure euphoria.
