Description
Welsh ragga-metal chaos merchants Skindred are what happens when reggae, metal, punk, and pure party energy all pile into a van and refuse to turn the volume down. Fronted by the unstoppable whirlwind that is Benji Webbe, the band has made a global sport out of turning crowds into synchronized, shirt-waving, headbanging dance floors (The Newport Helicopter!).
Since forming in 1998, Skindred have been proving that heavy riffs and heavy grooves can absolutely coexist, preferably while thousands of fans are bouncing in unison. Equal parts mosh pit and carnival culminating in high-volume celebration.
With this release you will receive:
- Orange Vinyl
- Signed and hand numbered Slice
- Limited to 200 Copies
What is a Wax and Beans slice we hear you cry? The Wax and Beans slice is a collectible magnetic strip that allows you to show friends and family what music you’re spinning right now.
Only available at Wax and Beans, for select releases, the slice is hand-numbered and can be used flexibly. You can attach it to a magnetised Wax and Beans ‘Now Spinning’ wooden block (our latest, upgraded Now Spinning Record Display stand - available to purchase separately or part of a bundle) or stick it on your fridge, radiator or wherever you want really.
Grab your pre order, grab a shirt and find a room with a ceiling high enough in anticipation of laying this one on the turntable in April.
Why not grab a Wax and Beans ‘Now Spinning’ wooden block and fully display this release by the Wales finest entertainers.
About the album:
Newport’s reggae-metal soundsystem Skindred were already renowned as an exhilarating live band, but 2023’s ‘Smile’ album changed the game. It shot to #2 in the UK charts, followed by a packed headline show at Wembley Arena, and led them to become proud winners of Best Alternative Act at the MOBO Awards. But how can you possibly top that? For Skindred and the upcoming ‘You Got This’ album, the answer was simple. You come out fighting with a lean, all-killer-no-filler set that distils everything that people love about them - hard-hitting slammers, mega addictive hooks, earwormy soundclash elements, and dancehall vibes destined to ignite festivals and live shows across the globe. And in Benji Webbe, they have the ultimate frontman — a man whose wild enthusiasm is instantly contagious, delivering the album’s other great strength: an adrenaline shot of pure motivation. His phenomenally powerful vocals are balanced with lighter, melodic moments of emotion that champion self-belief, resilience, and finding joy in the small things that make life worth living – he’s the loudest life coach you’ll ever meet. So, for Skindred, the ‘Smile’ wave of discovery was just the start of more adventures to follow. Where it takes them is yet to be written, but one thing is certain: they got this.
