ENTER SHIKARI ENTER THE MIDWEEKS AT #3 WITH 'THE MINDSWEEP'

'The Mindsweep', the fourth album by Enter Shikari has entered the UK Album Charts midweeks at #3.

Hot on the heels of massive new releases from Mark Ronson and Fall Out Boy, this is the fourth album of Enter Shikari’s to enter the top 5 on release and another triumph in the continuing mission to slip pigeonhole-avoiding, socially-conscious music into the mainstream (chances are 'The Mindsweep' is the only release in the top 40 with a track specifically about the privatisation of the NHS under the current unelected Tory government. Though, admittedly, I haven’t heard the Sam Smith album all the way through, so you never know, eh?).

The band will be embarking on a brace of Instore Signings this week :

21st January

12pm – HMV Southampton 5:00pm – HMV Brighton Churchill

22nd January

12pm – HMV Birmingham Bullring 5:30pm – HMV Manchester

23rd January

5:30pm – Rise Records, Bristol

And their Europe / UK tour commences in Paris on 2nd February and ends with two Sold Out shows at London’s 3000-capacity Camden Roundhouse at the end of the month.
