No Sleep Tonight is one of my personal favourites off Enter Shikari’s new album and is the perfect follow up to the first single, Juggernauts.

Lead vocals Rou Reynolds said in an interview that the new single is about the mentality of oil companies in their attempt to get high, short term profits, something which reflects the albums more mature attitude and awareness of world affairs.

With a roaring chorus and angry vocals it is perfect for live shows, a song which even a novice to Common Dreads would be able to get involved with. It is a good representation of Enter Shikari’s evolved sound and having already been popular amongst the band’s fanbase, the album should do well with old and new fans alike.

No Sleep Tonight as a single should be a success in terms of live performances.

This was evident at the Reading and Leeds festivals recently, where No Sleep Tonight was one of the stand out songs in the bands new set. With plenty of energy and passion being delivered by the band and crowd alike, this song will surely be a keeper in the setlist for the forseeable future!

Score: 80%
