Direct Current 13.04.26 Now Playing 🎶 Enter Shikari - System... Meltdown 💿 A Flash Flood of Colour (2012) Straight in there. You know we had to - powering up today with two from Enter Shikari, who are set to storm the Academy next Tuesday. It is sold out AS HELL but you'd expect that 📉

Good timezone, carbon-based lifeforms! Episode 017 of Direct Current airs on @dublindigitalradio.bsky.social at 11am, powering up with Enter Shikari - got a lot of love for the St. Albans band; their new album was surprise dropped on Friday so you'll hear us popping off! New music inbound too!
