Skindred - Kill The Power

Skindred is a British alternative band formed in Newport, South Wales in 1998. Skindred's musical style mixes metal, alternative rock, reggae and punk. The band also integrate elements of dancehall, jungle, hardcore, hip hop, drum and bass, dubstep and various other influences into their music. Skindred are well known for their energetic and involving live performances.

Skindred fuse heavy metal, punk rock, hip hop, electronica and reggae influences to create a unique style and sound. The band has previously referred to this style as "Ragga metal". Benji Webbe has also jokingly referred to the band's musical style as "nu-reggae", in reference to the term nu metal. Although Skindred has sometimes been compared to Bad Brains, Webbe states that "To someone who doesn't know anything about reggae music, of course we're going to sound like Bad Brains. It's like someone who doesn't know anything about opera might say that Pavarotti sounds just like Mario Lanza. But when your ears are trained and you know what you're looking for, you're going to say, 'Shit no, Mario Lanza don't sound nothing like Pavarotti.'"

About the latest album release, lead singer Benji Webbe had this to say: “Kill The Power is our fifth studio album...We are more than excited to unleash this Skindred bomb on the world! Kill The Power is for all them that are sick of being the underdog, and wanna step up and destroy all those who oppress and hold them down! Use this album as a backdrop to overcome and take your life back! We ain’t fighting the power no more – we are definitely killing it!!

Todays tune "Kill The Power" is the title track from the fifth studio album from Welsh reggaemetal band Skindred. Released 27 Jan, 2014.

Skindred - Warning

Skindred is a Welsh rock band from Newport. The band was formed in 1998 following the disbandment of vocalist Benji Webbe's previous band, Dub War. Skindred's musical style mixes alternative rock, heavy metal, punk rock and reggae. The band also integrate elements of dancehall, hardcore, ska, hip hop, drum and bass, dubstep and various other influences into their music. The group refers to this style as "ragga metal”.

Todays tune ”Warning” is the 1st single from the fourth brand new album "Union Black” It was released on April 25, 2011. The album is notable for featuring more usage of dubstep, hip hop and drum and bass elements than previous works. The album was produced by James Loughrey at Britannia Row Studios.

Benji Webbe stated in an interview with Kerrang! that he wanted to get some collaborations on the new album and had originally hoped to get Corey Taylor of Slipknot to sing on the album, but due to other commitments this wasn't possible. He went on to say that after sending an incomplete version of the song Warning to friend Jacoby Shaddix (of Papa Roach), Shaddix flew into the studio to record some extra vocals for the track "Warning". The album was promoted with a UK tour, with support acts Chiodos and Me Vs Hero.



The album's art is contributed by graphic artist Tim Fox.
