My Fantasy Band: Rou Reynolds, Enter Shikari
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Vocals - Colin Doran
He's the singer with Hundred Reasons, whose music and vocals have been a big influence on me. It's makes us really nostalgic as a band. His voice is really gritty but emotional and soft at the same time. He also has awesome hair.
Backing vocals - Cedric Bixler-Zavala
Also has great hair. He sang for At The Drive-In and has to be one of the most entertaining frontmen ever. He's not the most amazing singer but he's so creative and his lyrics are unbelievable; he's a walking thesaurus.
Guitar - Ben Weinman
He plays for the Dilinger Escape Plan and is so gifted and technical, without being up himself. I think he's the brain behind the music – it's really rhythmic – but, on stage, he's an absolute nutcase. I don't know how he performs note for note and still runs around like a lunatic.
DJ - Liam Howlett
The Prodigy have also had a huge influence on us. They have incredible sub-bass and bass line and electronics and synths, so he could cover all of that.
Drummer - Mitch Mitchell
He was The Jimi Hendrix Experience drummer, among others. Very no frills but had a solid beat and felt the groove.
Enter Shikari have donated their dream festival playlist in support of anti-poverty charity ActionAid. Visit www.actionaid. org.uk/music to download tracks
