Kerrang! Magazine 10/02/10

Enter Shikari and The King Blues tell it like it is!

With economies crumbling, the media demonising teenagers, our leaders more interested in waging war than making the world a better place, you could be forgiven for thinking we’re all doomed.

“But don’t despair, things will get better,” according to Enter Shikari’s Rou Reynolds and The King Blues’ Itch as we get the two outspoken and socially conscious frontmen together to debate the issues of the day.

Also in this week’s magazine: Exclusive pictures of Trivium’s new line-up, Green Day and Judas Priest celebrate at the Grammys, 30 Seconds To Mars’ LA bomb threat horror, the Red Hot Chili Peppers unveil new guitarist and an exclusive on set report of Rob Zombie directing an episode of CSI: Miami!

Plus: Access All Areas on the Kerrang! Relentless Energy Tour 2010 with All Time Low, The Blackout, Young Guns and My Passion, your favourite stars give us their top tips to get the girl or guy of your dreams this Valentine’s Day, Rammstein invade the UK, Arch Enemy destroy New York and Municipal Waste thrash Birmingham!

And: We go Inside The Mind Of Placebo’s Brian Molko, get up-close-and-personal with rock’s newest pin-up, Emilie Autumn, and review new albums by Alkaline Trio, Enter Shikari, Story Of The Year and more!

Plus: Valentine’s Day poster special! Starring HIM, Lacuna Coil, My Chemical Romance, Biring Me The Horizon and Biffy Clyro!

Chill, they only have 2 albums, hardly a huge discography, their next album might not be as different as you say

Carm down dear, respect other peoples tastes in music yeah?
Okay enter shikari is a good band
But in my opinion i don't think their the best...(and i'm not just saying that because i'm a HUGE placebo fan)

Its great you support a band so much, bt don't start putting other bands down.

Btw placebo just realised a new album which is TOTALLY different from their previous work. Infact every album has been different x

enter shikari ftw. rou should be on the front cover of every issue.

Posted by SIIICK BLAAD | February 9, 2010 10:18 PM | Reply to this

This issue looks great. I definitely love Shikari's new stuff, their music has evolved soo much. But, i don't think its necessary that each album be drastically different. At the same time, issues around the world change everyday, and therefore the feel of enter shikari's music will too, I'm sure. Its so cool to hear songs about something other than love or partying or hustlinnn'. I'm reeeaallly looking forward to them coming to America, so much of our music just absolutely blows!

Posted by LB | February 10, 2010 2:42 AM | Reply to this

YAY!, ahh this is amazing enter shkari on the front WITH the kings blues AND BMTH poster <3333333
i love you kerrang!!

and i cant wait to find out shikaris rescheduled gig, does anyone know yet?:)

Although there have been approximately 3,000,000 Paramore posters, it isn't - contrary to popular belief - a weekly feature.

It is amazing that Emilie is finally getting exposure in more magazines, no matter how badly it could affect the fanbase at gigs.

She is an immensely talented musician that puts on the best accompanying show i have ever seen without affecting the performance of the songs.

Well done Emilie

Just gonna say your review on rammstein was absolute bollocks; Not one song that they played was mentioned, most of the review was dedicated to how amazing their show is. How about you actually tell us what happened?!

Ace feature on king blues and shikari however x

He's actually a wee cunt. He shoved - and then subsequently got his ass kicked - by an 18 year old, 5' 5" girl who was waiting at the bar in the nightclub I go to because he wanted to get served first.

Beautiful.

Next time don't go to the show of the tour with the smallest turnout. Even if the crowd is small, Twin always put so much energy into it. Come to one of their Glasgow gigs next time & review that...fuckers.

Posted by Joanna | February 13, 2010 3:41 PM | Reply to this

Emilie Autumn milks being Bipolar soooo much. Kurt Cobain, Axl Rose and Jimi Hendrix are bipolar too, but you dont hear them going on about it. I find it really insulting as I'm bipolar also. She's making all of us look like we're f*cking tapped in the head.

Can't say I have heard the whole album but what I have heard is awesome! They are definately worth catching live too! Not a fair review! Whilst FFAF are a great band they are not everyones hero's Rae!

Thanks guys for the awesome EA interview! Is there any chance I can get some of the images from the photoshoot?

And "Quid" Emilie does not milk her condition, she tries to counter it. Until you know a person don't fucking judge them. I've met her and she's a lovely sweet woman, trying like all of us to lead a normal life and after her bipolar disorder and the abuse when she was a kid, don't you think it's insanely difficult for her? Just leave her alone.
