What exactly is it about Skindred that makes them so unique, so unto themselves both musically and spiritually? Is it their origins on the mean streets of Newport, Wales? Is it their dancehall roots? Is it their punk, DIY ethic? Drum and bass combined with metallic riffing? Anyone who has experienced this band can go on for days trying to encapsulate what exactly it is about Skindred, but it is quite simply the music created by these 4 unlikely bandmates - Daniel Pugsley, Michael Fry, Arya Goggin and Benji Webbe – which blends a clash of cultures and ideas into a fusion of such musical grandeur, such magnificence that all bow or break in its wake.
“Is there a better frontman on the planet than Benji Webbe? We doubt it very much.”
Metal Hammer
"Many leaving tonight will tell you they witnessed the best live band in Britain."
Mark Griffiths - Kerrang!
“Plain and simple, this is killer music, from a band who has a sixth-sense towards creating something we've never heard before but wreaks of familiarity”
