Long before North America joined in on the explosion of electronic post-hardcore, England’s very own Enter Shikari was lighting the match. This dominating quartet has been leading the progression of electronica since 2003, igniting a trend that would ultimately fuel the eruption of electro subgenres and define our favorite bands today. Impelling an aggressive pace for nearly a decade, Enter Shikari continues to abuse boundaries while incorporating their newly innovative fusion of socio-political lyrics, dubstep, and British hip hop.
Even before the release of their first studio album, Enter Shikari had the industry’s full attention. In 2006, “Mothership” and “Sorry You’re Not A Winner” landed them a spot on the U.K. Singles Charts top 200. Since then, every Enter Shikari album has ranked in the U.K. Album Charts top 20, including their most recent release ‘A Flash Flood of Colour’, peaking at #4. Constantly staring at sold out venues, magazine covers, and awards such as ‘Best Live Band’ (Kerrang! Awards) and ‘Breakthrough Artist Of The Year’ (BT Digital Awards), this critically acclaimed post-hardcore band is one you can’t afford to miss.
Although originating in 2003, the band didn’t tour North America until May of 2007. By then, Enter Shikari had found much success in the U.K. and was practically a household name. ‘A Flash Flood Of Colour North American Tour’ marks their third appearance in Utah; first being A Day To Remember‘s ‘TourSick’ (May 2010) and second, Vans Warped Tour (August 2011). Recently, they were scheduled to appear on The Devil Wears Prada‘s ‘Dead Throne Tour North America’ (November 2011), but regrettably weren’t able to make the Utah date. With that being said, this will be their first headlining tour passing through the state of Utah. Don’t miss your opportunity to see Enter Shikari, Letlive, At The Skylines, and I Capture Castle, May 2nd at Club Sound.

FRESHMEN CLASS OF 2012 TOURVenue: Mojos
Date: 05-09-2012
Time: 7:00 PM

With a 34-band roster, currently housing some of the best bands in alternative music, it’s always a mystery as to who will turn up on the next U.S. Rise Records tour. The wait is over and the lineup has been announced, leaving us with the altering anticipation of their awaited arrival. Reserve your tickets now and don’t miss your chance to see The Air I Breathe, My Ticket Home, Hands Like Houses, and Palisades as they pass through Ogden, UT this May. Local artists I Capture Castle and Stories Of Ambition are scheduled to kick off the night.
Hardcore bands The Air I Breathe and My Ticket Home are no strangers to our music library, but this tour introduces some of the newer faces in the Rise Records family. Fresh from the studio, the New Jersey six-piece known as Palisades is quickly making a permanent impression in the post-hardcore scene. Their most recent EP ‘I’m Not Dying Today’ displays a consistently aggressive blend of pop-punk, hardcore, and synth that you’ll just have to hear once to spark an addiction. Trailing close behind is the latest talent to emerge from Australia. Already teaming up with some big names, Hands Like Houses has released tracks with featured guest vocalists Tyler Carter (of Woe, Is Me) and Jonny Craig (of Dance Gavin Dance, Emarosa, and Isles And Glaciers). I think it’s safe to say that these bands are on track to becoming the next big thing.
