Cannot play songs by a particular band (Enter Shikari)

Cannot play songs by a particular band (Enter Shikari)

Hi, I just signed up to Spotify and am trying out the 60-day Premium trial.

 

I tried playing a song by a band called Enter Shikari by directly cliking on the link proviede by the band (https://play.spotify.com/album/0ZlStJI60o8oHlSwQpmkfH)

 

However, when I do jump to that link, the song is greyed out and cannot be played.

Can anyone tell me why this may be and if it can be solved so that I can listent to the song?

 

Thank you in advance!

Hi! 

 

Spotify has a wide variety of music, most of which is available across the globe; unfortunately some of the music may only be regionally specific, this can be based off of a number of things (special time frame releases by the artist to specified regions, other partners and connections allowing for earlier access, or region restrictions that have come about for various other regions). While I've not yet found a list showing where and which music is available that is probably my best guess, another issue may be that you aren't receiving a good internet connection and your device may not be registering that you are "online" (this is very unlikely and usually only requires restarting the app to make it start working again). 

 

What I might suggest if the album still remains unavailable is looking for similar artist using Spotify's functions to help music lovers find and enjoy new music! Hope this helps!

 

BTW the band Enter Shikari was playable in my premium subscription in the US. Here are some similar artist: Funeral for a Friend, The Blackout, Alexisonfire, We are the Ocean, Fightstar, Attack!Attack!, and the Devil Wears Prada

 

 

Best,
