K!, why have you put these tramp fellating trombonists on the front cover?

You, and they, suck!

Oi! We homeless people do have standards. Yes, we'll happily suck you off for a bottle of cheap gin, or offer various other services for 50p, but to suggest we'd lower ourselves to being anywhere near Enter Shitkari?
We'd sooner set our cardboard boxes on fire. With us in them.
Enter Shitkari indeed.

Buy a Big Issue, Bateman?

Enter Shikari

Okay, Enter Shikari's New Album Is Utter Shit!
Common Dreads Was An Epic Fail!
Still, So Was BMTH's Suicide Season But I Don't Now Despise Them!
You Still Have To Admit That Enter's Old Stuff Is Awsome!
So Don't Saying Shit Because Of One Pish Album!

Hayley Williams Poster..

I LOVE you Kerrang!(sarcasm) I mean seriously, i love paramore and all that, and i think Hayley Williams in as hot as hell, but you guys use any excuse to put in a poster of her. And if you have no excuse, you put one in anyway.. Love it.

Wish I could go to Reading or Leeds though. Set Your Goals, Gallows and New Found Glory are gonna be immense..!

i don't really get the point of all this criticism on Shikari...if you don't like 'em shut the hell up.

it's not your cup of tea whether they're on the cover or not. and who else is in that issue. come on. that's just childish.

if you don't like it just don't buy it. it's not That difficult. dammit.

Woah calm down, if you havnt seen Enter Shikari live then you cannot comment on them. They are amazing live. & although I dont know many songs off Common Dreads yet, the first album was so immense that it must atleast be decent.
So they arent your usual alt music, not like Slipknot? So what!
I love SLipknot but i love Entershikari as well. Although great bands like Slipknot will always be there, you have to come to terms with the fact that Enter Shikari style music is coming forwards. & its got a beat you can either headbang or dance to!

Enter Shikari

Will everyone cut Shikari some slack? They can't be that bad if they've sold all the records they have, they can't be that bad if they're signed and they can't be that bad if they're on the cover of K! Just cause they're not your cup of tea doesn't mean you can slate them. I'd like to see you try and do what they do.

Enter Shikari

Yes i agree with you, shikari are absolutely amazing, best live band for a while, there so explosive and exiting. Yh there unique but thats whats so good! so dont fuckin slate them, the peopke who do are probably the people who listen to fukin metro station!!

And btw Madison, Shikari have their own label
thats another reason why there so good, theyve done all this withouy signing a huge contract!!
So fuck you shikari haters!!

"record sales don't mean shit"?

....What?

It kinda does mean something.. They're obviously able to sell records... And anyone, no matter how crap they are, deserve a pat on the back to being able to sell records to that amount of people...

Might not be as many as other bands, but still, they're on the cover of K! so they're surely worth something :) Just saying.
