Hertfordshire rock seems to be something of a recurring theme for us here. We've not been shy in expressing our enjoyment of Chasing Cadence in recent weeks, and now it's time to reveal our ongoing love for Fort Hope. The trio's music continues to just get better and better, and new single Say No exemplifies this... Continue Reading →
From the moment Hoodwinker launches into life with a brutal burst of low-tuned guitars and crashing drums, followed by Rou Reynolds' booming "This is the voice of God," you just know we're in for something special. The trademark Enter Shikari choruses are there in all their glory, but the general feel of the new track is much heavier... Continue Reading →
Dropping the C-bomb on the second word of your debut album is quite some statement. You either have to back it up by being brilliant, or be so heavy and scary that no-one will question your outrageous lyrical choices.

But it's important, in this world of multi-genres dominated by truly terrible popular music, to keep... Continue Reading →
