Enter Shikari return with the first single from their new album ‘Common Dreads’ in the form of ‘Juggernauts’.

Starting with a keyboard solo on acid, it crashes into a very chilled, and very pop verse with very different vocals than you would find on any earlier Enter Shikari tracks, and it’s this apparent Mike Skinner singing style that seems to have divided a few Enter Shikari fans. I can’t understand why it’s a problem, because it works very, very well. It gives frontman Rou Reynolds a platform to voice his political opinions before it breaks down and launches into the chorus.

‘Juggernauts’, or as Rou calls it, ‘Juggers’, is a perfect indication of what fans can expect from their upcoming second album ‘Common Dreads’. It’s more polished, it’s got more contrast, and I think it’s this single that will earn them a much bigger presence. There are still a lot of people out there that don’t know who Enter Shikari are, but ‘Juggernauts’ will change all of that. Once this gets out, they'll be massive.
