Hadouken! - 'Every Weekend'
The minute the gates opened, they came over the horizon; thousands of them, kicking up clouds of dust and stampeding into the NME/Radio 1 tent like herds of short-shorted wildebeest. Either every teenager at 2012’s Reading Festival had got the...
Album review: Hadouken! - For The Masses...
They weren’t joking. Who knew? When they climaxed early single ‘ Liquid Lives ’ with the refrain “ Drink! Smoke! Fuck! Fight! ”, everyone imagined Hadouken! were doing so with a certain smirk. Wasn’t this an example of the wryness...
Live Review: Hadouken!
Before Hadouken! appear, Metallica’s ‘Enter Sandman’ launches from the speakers, and a group of otherwise-silent 20-somethings start cheering. But when it turns into a pounding remix, they howl with disappointment. Are they lost? This is no...
Live Review: Underage Festival
underage Festival – Field Day’s younger sister – is a little more brash and a lot more ballsy… but she still has to be back home before nine. The only festival where a library card can count as adequate ID, this strictly 14-18-year-olds...

Hadouken!
Having already redefined grindie boundaries with the synapse-shredding ‘Liquid Lives’, these warriors return with their most ‘commercial’ tune to date, cunningly released as lead track on memory stick-only mixtape ‘Not Here To Please...
Hadouken!
They’re the neon-splattered sound of 2037!” screams the red corner! “They’re a bunch of try-hard Hoxton scenesters!” retaliates the blue corner! “They’re leaders of the genre-pulping grindie-pop scene!” rages the, umm, green...
Hadouken! Leadmill, Sheffield, Saturday,...
Taking their name from a move in the greatest computer game ever – peerless retro beat ’em up Street Fighter II – Hadouken! obviously have impeccable taste in gaming. Heck, NME spent much of its childhood not only playing the game, but...
Hadouken!: Academy 2, Newcastle, Saturday June 2
If you hate Hadouken!, it probably means you spent your youth as a child soldier in Uganda, or did something else that charred your heart so much that you can no longer absorb either beauty or truth. Well, that’s what we think. But love or...
Hadouken!
We thought we gave someone a call about this, but nothing has been done about it, so once again, can someone please inform the authorities about the children on the loose in the Sega Megadrive factory? It sounds like they’re having fun, but it...
