Skindred

Reggae and metal have always been the foundation of Skindred’s music. Formed in Newport, Wales, in 1998, the band built a distinctive style around those roots, drawing in dancehall, hip-hop and electronic elements along the way. Vocalist Benji Webbe brought his experience from his previous band Dub War, shaping Skindred with a voice that moves between melodic singing, rhythmic delivery and raw outbursts. Heavy guitars meet buoyant grooves and catchy choruses. Beneath the aggression runs a positive spirit: unity, self-belief and joy are as central to the band’s identity as their willingness to cross musical boundaries.
