Enter Shikari share ‘(pls) set me on fire’
It was a big news week for Enter Shikari this week with the band sharing news that they will release new album, ‘A Kiss For The Whole World’ on April 21st.
The band also debuted their latest single, ‘(pls) set me on fire’, which you can listen to above.
And if that wasn’t enough, the group have also announced a unique monthly residency in the UK throughout February, March and April.
Rou Reynolds comments on the singleās conception: “Honestly, I thought I was f*****. Iāve never felt so detached from my soul, my purpose, my f****** spirit. I didnāt write music for almost two years. The longest Iād gone before that was two weeks. I was broken. Itās almost as if my brain had asked: āWhat is the point in music if it cannot be shared? What is the point in writing music if itās not to be experienced with others?ā and then promptly switched itself off. ā(pls) set me on fireā grew out of that desperation. This song is a projectile vomit of positive energy. Every emotion trapped inside me for two years, finally set free.”
Reynolds continues: āBack to basics. This band – my best friends – bundled into an old farmhouse, miles away from anywhere. Off-grid, and ready to rediscover ourselves. This album is powered by the sun, the most powerful object in our solar system. And I think you can tell. Itās a collection of songs that represent an explosive reconnection with what Enter Shikari is. The beginning of our second actā.

Hundred Reasons share new single ‘Replicate’
Hundred Reasons will release their first album in 15 years, ‘Glorious Sunset’, on February 24th. But this week the band shared their latest single, ‘Replicate’, which you can listen to above.
Singer Colin Doran had the following to say about the lyrical theme behind the new song:
“Replicate is about the cycle of thinking that whatever you do just is not good enough despite the person closest to you being forgiving and supportive. It’s also about trying to second guess how a person may feel about an action but not being correct and getting it wrong.

Black Stone Cherry debut ‘Out of Pocket’
There isn’t long until Black Stone Cherry return to these shores for a headline arena run alongside The Darkness.
Ahead of those dates though, the band has found time to release new track, ‘Out of Pocket’, which you can listen to above.
Talking about the song Chris Robertson says, “Out of Pocket is a song born out of that exact feeling. The song was what I personally, and I think a lot of us, felt over these very trying last couple of years. Facing your demons, knowing that you have to come out the other side stronger than before.”

Black Star Riders debut ‘Catch Yourself On’
Black Star Riders will release their new album, ‘Wrong Side of Paradise’ on January 20th, but this week saw the band share new track, ‘Catch Yourself On’, which you can check out above.
Ricky Warwick comments: ā āCatch Yourself Onā is a phrase often used in my home country of Northern Ireland, itās used to tell someone to āstop being ridiculousā or āto get realā. Weāre sadly becoming slaves to technology and social media (guilty as charged). We donāt think twice about sharing our inner most feelings and thoughts with a world of strangersā¦ We seem to be losing the ability to think for ourselves. Technology is controlling us, instead we should be controlling technology. It feels like itās already surpassing human interaction.”

ten56. share ‘Saiko’
We close this portion of our News Report with ten56., who have released their new EP, ‘Downer Part. 2’, and to celebrate they have released a video for the track ‘Saiko‘.
The band comments, “We’re all extremely gassed up to put out the second and final (?) chapter of the ‘Downer’ saga ; we went all in on Part.1 and definitely felt the pressure to deliver with Part.2, we went in harder and we’re all extremely satisfied and excited to see what everyone thinks.
‘Saiko’ is the kind of energy that we wanted to bring back after releasing ‘RLS’, we hope that everyone enjoys what we’ve put together, and that people will find little pieces of themselves littered around the EP. Downer’ Part.2 is the next step in the continuous evolution of ten56., turn it up loud and get lost in the discomfort. Cheers.”

As always we conclude our News Report with the latest additions to our ‘Discover’ New Music Playlist!
Harpy – ‘Swallow’
Goth-pop mistress Harpy has gifted the world with new music, the empowering ‘Swallow’.
Harpy divulges… “Swallow sounds like the traumatised hate f*** child of Sam Smith’s āUnholyā and Kornās āTwisted Transistorā. We wrote this song almost two years ago, and up until this point Iāve really just been setting the scene for this moment. I am calling out abusers and manipulators through this song, some even by name, they had their chance to be better, time to taste the truth. I hope this song gives power to those that have been unforgivably hurt by others, who for too long have abused positions of power.”
ANGER PARTY – ‘Eat You Alive’
Alternative Horror Rock band ANGER PARTY have unveiled their debut offering āEat You Aliveā.
āBlood, guts, flayed flesh and a shattered smile – these are the things that plague our minds. āEat You Aliveā explores the surreal, menacing corners of our nightmares and how they breach the lines of reality in a modern world.ā ā Guitarist Owen Claxton.
Feral Family – ‘Wee Van Bee’
Yorkshire’s Feral Family join our playlist with their track, ‘Wee Van Bee’, which centres on an anti-hero character.
The band say, “Wee Van Bee preys on the weak and vulnerable, shucking his snake-oil remedies place to place. But far beyond being out to make a quick buck – there is something far darker at stake”.
