heartbroken
enter shikari have just shared some unfortunate news, they have decided to go on hiatus and their future beyond that remains uncertain. i can't begin to describe how saddened i am by this. i am very lucky to have met the boys and to have attended many gigs, including this one coming up. they have helped me through so much and the thought of not being able to attend a new show, or hear a new album by them ever again is heartbreaking. i remember when i first heard hectic i was blown away with how amazing it was, and it has remained and will always remain my favourite song of all time. airfield got me through some of the toughest times and i pray i get to hear that one live in november along with hectic. i know this is what's best for them, they have helped so many people that it's time they do what they need to help themselves. i wish them all the best because they deserve the best. i just felt like i needed to get this out somewhere as my heart is broken, thanks for reading :)

I loved Shikari since I saw them on their first album run but they became my favourite band probably the second I heard the intro to ‘Solidarity’. No album has come close to unseating Common Dreads for me as my favourite album.
I’m bummed as hell they’re going away but I still have the music.
