Buy Enter Shikari - We Can Breathe In Space [Single] From Amazon.com

Described as Rock / Happy Hardcore / Progressive, this band are certainly a hefty meal for the ears. This is their first release since June 2007, and they haven’t changed. The glow stick phenomenon was an annoyance, and their music follows suite.

Previously demoed back in 2006, ‘We Can Breathe In Space’ has been re-worked, re-glued for Enter Shikari 08/09. The track is fun, great for the dance-floor of those grubby rock venues with sticky floors and 13 year old children throwing up over each other.
The guitar riff reminds me of Funeral For A Friend’s ‘Street Car’, with a high pitched hammer-on/pull-off sound. The use of atmospheric synths with heavy guitar works together as an original sound. Reynolds’ vocals at times seem extremely strained, intentional or not it adds an extra unique approach. Shikari include the inevitable break down that comes part and parcel with this genre, you know that bit where the emo kids lean back and point to the sky?

Maybe Enter Shikari are like Marmite?..... For the record, Marmite sucks.

The Marmite comparison is genius. I personally like Enter Shikari, but they really are like or hate, there is no in between. I'm adding to your reputation!
