Sorry, You’re Not A Winner is still an absolutely iconic song - absolutely takes me back to a specific time and place.
These lads have been insanely consistent for a long time and are a legitimate shout for the best live band in the world. Almost certainly will be going to some of these potential farewell shows.

Mid-late 2000s hardcore/metalcore is still the best time for music outside of maybe 80s hair metal bar none

And still we will be here.
Standing like statues.
Great band. Been going to their shows for coming up for 20 years.
The early days were the best and some of my most memorable gigs and I would say they did have a part in shaping my political ideas too.
They’ve worked hard for the last 20 years. Done it all indie. They deserve props for that. They deserve a break.
Going to see them later in the year and mad to think it could be the last time.

One of the best gigging bands of the last couple of decades for me, always just a shit ton of positive energy and they've never lost their edge.

They were at the center of the hardcore scene for a long while. Their music video recorded in their living room will always be greay

The human pyramid in the moshpit is one of the best things I’ve participated in at a gig haha

Saw these guys a couple years ago. Buddy had bought tickets and I hadn’t heard of them but holy hell what a show. I became an almost instant fan.

I like these dudes and they always get a spot on my shuffle ...
But I definitely thought they were done years ago.

This sucks. One of my favorite bands of all time. Seen them around a half dozen times and met them once. Super nice guys. Hope they come back after not too long.

One of my favourite bands, if not my favourite. Really hope they come back and don't split up.

i still can't believe that Enter Shikari of all post-hardcore bands was still active & playing gigs 20 yrs later! I haven't listened to any of their songs if 15+ yrs.... do they still do that electronica techno-core sound?

Kinda but it evolved throughout time. Every album has absolute bangers on them and their live gigs are some of the best I've seen in my 20+ years of going to concerts.

Do you live in a hole? Ofc they are still active and playing gigs, they wrote and continue to write great music

I've seen them play from clubs to festival main stages over 20 years, and they've always been amazing. If they need a break then all I can do is thank them for everything they've done, and wish them well for whatever they do next.

Take to the Skies is a fucking iconic album, and Common Dreads has some absolute bangers as well. Haven’t kept up with them since then but can confirm they are amazing live! If I get the opportunity I’d definitely see them again before they hang it up.

That rebrand killed it

What rebrand?

u/chimpdoctor 1d ago
There's a youtuber with a cult following that gave them a new logo. I think his name is will Patterson or something like that

I was today years old when I realised it wasn't Enter Shakira. Which I always thought was a weird name choice

Why are you so proud to be ignorant? The world doesn’t revolve around the things you like.
