Enter Shikari

Enter Shikari, formerly Hybryd, is a British post-hardcore band from St Albans, Hertfordshire. Formed in 2003, the band consists of Roughton "Rou" Reynolds on vocals and keyboards, Chris "Batty C" Batten on bass and backing vocals, Liam "Rory C" Clewlow on guitar and Rob Rolfe on drums.

Riding the Myspace wave, Enter Shikari secured a slot at the 2006 Download Festival, then sold out London's Astoria, making them one of the first bands to find success through the platform. This was confirmed with the release of their debut album Take to the Skies, which reached number four on the British charts and went gold. Subsequent albums followed the same trajectory: Common Dreads, released in 2009 and since certified silver, entered at number sixteen, while A Flash Flood of Colour (2012), The Mindsweep (2015) and The Spark (2017) all reached the top 10 in their first week.

The band members run their own label, Ambush Reality, but have signed with major labels to ensure worldwide distribution of their albums. Their style is hard to pin down, as there are many musical influences within a single album, and sometimes within a single song. Broadly, they represent a crossover between post-hardcore, screamo, punk and electro.
