British electro-rock giants Enter Shikari made their Russian late-night television debut on Evening Urgant on March 20.
The four-piece from Hertfordshire gave an explosive performance of their single “Live Outside,” from their latest album The Spark.
Host Ivan Urgant promotes their 2019 Stop The Clocks Russian tour, which ended on March 20 at the Heart Bar in Irkutsk.
The tour stopped in cities such as Moscow, St. Petersburg, Krasnodar, and more.
Vocalist Roughton Reynolds delivered an electric performance, belting each note with passion and effortlessly two-stepping to the beat of the song.
Enter Shikari was founded in 1999 under the name “Hybryd.”
It was not until 2003, with the addition of guitarist Liam Clewlow, that the band changed its name to Enter Shikari; the band name was inspired by a boat owned by Reynold’s uncle.
The band released their debut album, Take to the Skies, in the spring of 2007.
The album reached number 4 in the UK in less than a week following its release.
The band has been known to write about political issues of varying natures.
This includes climate change, our misuse of natural resources, the Trump Presidency, capitalism, and the United Kingdom’s Trident nuclear program.
When questioned about the band’s political voice, Reynolds told Kerrang! Magazine: “It’s what music is for.
If you take out the social commentary, it’s not punk, it’s just noisy pop.”
The Spark was released Sept. 22 2017 via Ambush Reality, the band’s independent record label, and is currently available on all streaming services.
