If you need an anthem to supercharge you to Victory!, I've got you covered. Or, should I say, Rou and the boys have you covered with the powerhouse that is Solidarity.
From the opening cascade of saw-toothy goodness (you guys know how much I love my saw-tooths. Saw-teeth? Hmm...), Enter Shikari do not disappoint in delivering an incredible journey and a powerful message of unification. I've said it before, but even lone heroes need to team up every now and then to unite in the face of Common Dreads, and what better way to do it than to a backdrop as powerful and dynamic as this one?
It's easy to feel alone out there, especially when your adversaries seem to be getting the upper hand (I don't know about you, but the long gap between the December and January paydays has made a significant nemesis out of my bank balance), so at times like this we need to focus on the fact that we're all part of the same dumbass species, and that's a great reason to stick together and look after one another.
I think this may actually be the oldest song on the playlist now, given that Common Dreads was released nearly 10 years ago, but it's as relevant as if it were written yesterday (funny how songs have the power to transcend time isn't it), and after last weeks chill sesh, I felt like it was time to inject a bit of energy back into the mix.
Get yourself moving to Solidarity's infectious flow, and make sure you're having a great week while you're at it x

About the curator - Matt Jenko
Matt Jenko is a university postgraduate and music producer with an unhealthy obsession with Rick & Morty and all things Game of Thrones. When he’s not in the studio (a rare occurrence these days), he’s fueling his passion for music either on the net or out in the real world. He likes being out in the nature (in the least strenuous capacity though, let’s be real here) and chilling with his cat, and he’s also pretty proud of his mammoth collection of books that he’s never read.

Sometimes situations call for a total reassessment. Sometimes, ‘having faith’ and ‘staying the course’ become synonymous with getting yourself stuck in a big ol’ rut. Even when your gut is screaming ‘yo bro this ain’t RIGHT my dude’, you just dig your heels in and plough on. You know best, after all…

The thing about works borne of pure creative passion is that they tend to take a lot to complete. This doesn’t just mean they take a lot of time (although time certainly accounts for a lot of the taking), they also take a lot of focused mental energy. This is the real sacrifice we have to make for our art…
