'Warm Smiles Do Not Make You Welcome Here' (Live At Home)

It was nice to revisit this track, recording it in front of green screens in our respective front rooms, and then giving the footage to our mate Oleg to create a psychedelic beast of a video for.

Introducing a new charity t-shirt with St Albans City FC with all profits from the sales being split between the St Albans District Foodbank in Hertfordshire, and the Fans Supporting Foodbanks charity in Liverpool, Merseyside; a joint initiative between the official supporters societies of Liverpool and Everton football clubs, benefiting those in need of assistance in the area. The t-shirt is available to pre-order now at the store.

We’ve always loved and supported The Leadmill in Sheffield. A great venue, run by great people.
Back when we were doing instore shows around the Take To The Skies release, we needed somewhere to park and plug in the bus after the Manchester HMV one. The Leadmill kindly offered us space, and the use of their electricity. They had a club night on that night, so they also gave us a big pile of drinks tokens and said to just pop in when we needed to get some more beers. That’s the kind of people they are.
We were also meant to play an intimate show there last year to celebrate the release of "Nothing Is True & Everything Is Possible."
We’re glad we could help them a little by donating a track for this vinyl compilation to help raise money for the venue; a “Live In The Studio” version of Torn Apart, alongside a bunch of other awesome tracks by great bands and artists.
Limited to just 500 copies.

2020 was difficult for everyone, so we wanted to do what we could to help out those in more need than ourselves. Aside from taking part in events like Five4FiveFest, we also launched a Charity page on our webstore, with exclusive merchandise items where the profits were distributed to a selection of charities, some that we’re already associated with, as well as some new ones that we feel are doing important work right now.
We’re pleased to announce that, over the past 10 months or so, you good people have helped to raise around £100k for these causes across the merch sales and your donations to Five4Five etc. We wanted to make a specific point of thanking you all for your contributions. It goes without saying that there’s no way this would have happened without you. Thank you for your generosity. We’re proud to have you as part of the family.
For those who weren’t already aware of any of this, we still have various charity items available at www.entershikari.com/charity. Hopefully we’ll be able to add a couple of new things before too long.
Some of the recipients of your kind contributions have been:
- War Child UK
- Teenage Cancer Trust
- NHS Charities Together
- Music Venue Trust
- Open Door St Albans Charity
- Herts Young Homeless
- Fans Supporting Foodbanks
- Donate4Refugees
- The Center for Cultural Power
- TC KIDS Mental Health
- Southern Poverty Law Center
- For The Nomads
and our trusty hard working road crew.
