This Week's Show #091
This week on the show, Dann and Mike dive deep into one of the most influential and genre-breaking bands of the last two decades — Enter Shikari. From early MySpace domination and sold-out venues before their debut album, to festival-stealing performances, mental-health honesty, side projects, and that unforgettable quadraphonic sound experience… we’re unpacking it all.
We share never-before-told stories from backstage chaos, toilet-cubicle interviews (yes, really), festival memories, moments with Rou Reynolds, and how Shikari continue to inspire the alternative scene today.
We also talk radio show history, new music discovery, our Positive Mental Health Playlist, Download Festival predictions, artist interviews, and how the scene has evolved since the early 2000s.
If we missed anything YOU think should be in a Shikari deep dive, drop it in the comments — if there’s enough interest, we’ll do a viewer-driven part two!
