Screamo/ post-harcore and electronic music are similar to Doritos and ice cream: both have their respective fan bases, and many consider each to be their "favorite" genre (or snack). However, when the two come together, it often does not produce a pleasurable result. However, for those who don't stop tweaking and changing things, be it your house's snack menu or your iPod's artist directory, there's still hope for innovation. And with that, across-the-pond rockers Enter Shikari have made their trek over the Atlantic Ocean, found a home at Hopeless Records, and are poised to breathe new life into the genre with their third full-length A Flash Flood of Colour.
When speaking of bands who have come to America from Great Britain, pop music sensations The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, and Oasis are inevitably going to come to mind. Enter Shikari are going to fall flat of those comparisons, but given their styles and hardcore-based leanings, Funeral for a Friend may be a better gauge for the band's career, and a much more realistic one. However, there are elements of the Enter Shikari "experience" that you won't get anywhere else, which may make them (and A Flash Flood of Color) the chipwich of the screamo-electronica scene.
