English rockers Foals and post-hardcore outfit Enter Shikari have become embroiled in a Twitter war - with Foals even telling Shikari to ‘go fuck themselves’!
In the latest Twitter war the music scene has witnessed this year, Foals responded rather sourly to Enter Shikari frontman Rou Reynolds’ comments about the indie outfit’s performance at the NME Awards last Wednesday.
Reynolds tweeted:
Foals just played and now our managers had to take the decisive action of ordering shots to wrench us out of the deep sleep they put us in.
As well as being cursed by Foals, Reynolds received a load of messages from Foals fans, who had similar things to say to the singer. This caused him to tweet:
I make a joke about a band I'm not into. Cue irate insults & anger. These people obviously respect my opinion a great deal to be so moved!
It’ll be interesting to see if this feud goes any further - we could end up with handbags at dawn if these two wind up at the same venue in the near future. If you’re keen to see either of them performing, though - you’re in luck. Both bands have got tours of the UK lined-up - check the dates and links below to find tickets for either.
