Enter Shikari has released Dancing On The Frontline, a companion album to their acclaimed A Kiss for the Whole World. The new collection features remixes, non-album singles, BBC session tracks, and a live Blu-ray of their standout performances. The band continues to captivate fans worldwide with their high-energy shows and exciting future tours.

Enter Shikari has just upped the ante with the release of their companion album, Dancing On The Frontline. This fresh collection is a vibrant follow-up to their UK number-one record, A Kiss for the Whole World, offering fans a treat with a medley of remixes, non-album singles, and exclusive BBC session tracks. Plus, there's a thrilling live Blu-ray included, offering an immersive dive into the band’s electrifying performances.

The album boasts a stellar lineup of collaborations. Expect high-energy tracks featuring Wargasm, Cody Frost, AViVA, and Jason Aalon Butler from Fever 333. It also includes pieces originally crafted for BBC Radio 1’s Rock Show and Future Sounds programs, adding an extra layer of dynamism and diversity to the mix.

And the live Blu-ray? It's pure gold for Shikari fans. It captures the essence of their headline performance at the UK’s Slam Dunk Festival in 2023 and their exhilarating set at Germany’s Vainstream Festival in the summer of 2022. Both performances have been meticulously edited by the band’s long-time visual genius, Oleg Rooz, ensuring a visual feast that complements their sonic onslaught.

Looking to the future, Enter Shikari is set to bring their explosive energy back to North America in October and November 2024. This tour features You Me At Six as special guests and Australian pop-punkers Yours Truly as the opening act, promising a night of unforgettable performances. After conquering North America, the band will undertake a short, yet highly anticipated, headline tour of the UK and Germany in November and December. These intimate gigs in often-overlooked towns have already seen tickets fly off the shelves within hours.

DIGITAL COVER 003: LEGZDINA

On a crisp morning in Shoreditch, Legzdina brought the bold energy that defines her music and style. She discussed her debut EP, Celestial Girl and Her Milky Way, a fearless mix of drum’n’bass, sung-rap, and poetic storytelling. The project captures her journey as an artist forging her own path. In conversation, she reflected on the personal stories shaping her music, her community-focused open-mic series Say It Back, and her drive to inspire through art. With ethereal vocals and experimental production, she’s pushing boundaries while eyeing her next milestone - representing Latvia at Eurovision -all while staying true to her belief in individuality and connection.

DIGITAL COVER 002: FLIPTRIX

This album tells a story, and hearing the tales that led to its formation from Fliptrix himself was an honour. We caught up with the charismatic artist shortly before the release of ‘Dragonfly’, to discuss his father, the current state of UK Rap, psychedelics, social media & more.

DIGITAL COVER 001: CLOUD X

In the midst of their planning of this year’s festival, we sat down with Ben Cross and David Dabieh of Cloud X to discuss the business of live music events, the UK government, South London and their future plans, perhaps surmised when Dabieh explained; "One thing about Cloud X is that we didn't have this big plan, we just kept trying to be free".
