listen to Nieuwe Politiek 2 by Shikari, as a preview
this is a post of Shikari's Discography Tape. other than the discography CD, this tape also includes songs from their split with Louise Cyphre and Ação Direta. which include my favorite songs by this band.
Shikari (Website) is a band from Holland, from which members went on to form Grinding Halt (click for an older post with one of that band's releases). This band put a mark on how people look back on ye olde screamo/hardcore 'scene', while I dispute wether they had such an impact during the time they were active. I couldn't know. I was not there. needless to say, they deserve it all and more. the combo of lightspeed-fast music and overabundance of passion/emotion makes for the hardest hitting heartbreak music, like suicidal black metal songs sped up into under 2 minutes synopsises. the lyrics really make you think, check that out on their website as well!
they went on a hiatus, from somewhere in 2004 until they reunited a few years ago.
I think it was for Cry Me A River Fest 2009 or something.
click the above picture to see what little merch Shikari has got left.
