Enter Shikari were one of the most hyped up bands since the middle of
2006, well up until the band released their debut album 'Take To The Skies'
back in March of this year, the album has since gone on and sold well
over 100,000 copies which is a huge achievement for an unsigned band who
have gone alone and done every thing themselves. The band have since gone
on and played most major festivals across the UK including the Carling
weekend Reading and Leeds and also Download festival, they have also played
in the USA and Japan and many sold out shows across the UK including their
current sold out tour across the UK that runs into the start of November.
To coincide with the bands current UK tour they are releasing a new EP
called 'The Zone' but don’t get to excited about the prospect of
a new Enter Shikari EP as in my eyes it seems like a Christmas cash in,
the band claim the EP is full of songs that didn’t make it on the
album due to not being recorded in time for the album release but technically
4 of the songs on the EP did make it on the album just a slightly different
version of them and the other 4 tracks on the EP are worth a listen but
if you are an Enter Shikari fan then you have most probably heard the
songs or own them already due to the wonders off the internet.
Songs like 'The Feast' are quite fun with really raw hardcore vocals over
some mental dance beats, and 'Kickin' Back On The Surface Of Your Cheek'
is quite an interesting song but if you happen to own the 'Anything Can
Happen In the Next Half Hour' single then you will already own the song
and also own 'Keep It On Ice' which happens to be another song on the
EP.
The release of 'The Zone' does seem pretty pointless and is a blatant
Christmas cash in as it offers absolutely nothing new and it would of
been more acceptable for Enter Shikari to of re-released their debut album
'Take To The Skies' with 'The Zone' included as a bonus disk to try and
attract new fans.
'The Zone' is a disappointment and I can only see the EP being bought
by the real hardcore Enter Shikari fans who like to collect all of the
bands releases.
2/5
