Skindred - Roots Rock Riot


Punkreggaemetal is one of those things that, like chocolate-covered bacon, just shouldn't work, but bizarrely does!

Formed from the ashes of Dub War (another top band), Skindred mix reggae beats, dub basslines and heavy riffs to make something shiny and new. I've listened to this album more times than I can count (so, about 7 times....) and it's STILL exciting stuff.

Also a fucking great live act, one that you should definately check out if you get the chance (and if you live in the Northwest of England, that chance comes on 15th March, when they play a tiny shithole above 53 Degrees in Preston!). VERY excited about seeing them again, although I'm not sure why, considering that after I saw them last time, I spent three days in creaking, bruised pain! :)

Have a listen to Trouble or Destroy The Dancefloor
