RAGGAE PUNK METAL! Skindred is simply unlike anything you have heard. Elements of Metal, Dancehall, Punk, and Drum & Bass, all swirling into a concoction of lethal addictiveness. Their debut CD Babylon was produced by Howard Benson (Papa Roach, Hoobastank, P.O.D), mixed by Rick Will (INCUBUS) and has to be one of the most important and impressive releases in heavy rock in years. In an era of fakes, frauds and imitators, Skindred delivers.

Skindred has already been winning over crowd’s worlwide with their intense RAGGAE METAL sound. This band makes Metalheads, Punks and Dreadheads rock out to the same song; this is the true meaning of unity sound. Skindred are always busy writing and recording, and have built up a list of Raggae Punk Classics. Oppurtunites to share the stage with bands such as Korn, Sevendust, Nonpoint, Breaking Benjamin, Chevelle, POD, has allowed the band to build a rapidly growing international fanbase.

With songs like Nobody, Set It Off, Pressure and Selector this band is so far apart from the pack that any attempt to describe them is useless. U.S. based label Lava Records leapt at the chance to sign Skindred; they offered the band a worldwide deal, which involved pushing their debut album Babylon to all far reaches of the earth.

You’ll have to look far and wide to find a band that delivers so many diverse styles, and unites different cultures of music under one roof.
