I've been hooked ever since a mate introduced me to Set It Off back in the early 2000s.

I've seen them live a few times now, and the energy is always off the charts. One of my favourite parts has always been those little live mash-ups where they blend your own songs with reggae, jungle, DnB, and other influences.

I'd absolutely love to hear a new album—or even a remix project—that fully embraces that side of Skindred. Give us crushing Newport nu-metal mixed with massive dub, reggae, jungle, and drum & bass vibes. Heavy riffs, huge basslines, skanking grooves, filthy drops... the lot.

I can't be the only one who'd have that on repeat.

I dunno about anyone else but I often open a Skindred mailing list email they have made the most insane colour choices imaginable and I just needed to share my pain with someone because wtf is this I was going cross-eyed 😂 does give me a chuckle tho

I first discovered Skindred back in 2023 when they played their late teatime main stage slot at 2000trees, around about the time when SMILE was due to be released. That's how I became hooked on them - after seeing WARNING! live for the first time and doing the Newport Helicopter, lol.

Since then, I've listened to SMILE in its entirety (such a good album, imo) and the latest album 'You Got This', but i'm now working my way backwards in the discography. I've listened to Big Tings and enjoyed that one, but now I'm coming upto Volume.

What are your favourite tracks from that album and why? What tracks should I listen to first? TIA for the recommendations, folks :)

Sooo my signed lyric sheet arrived today ... folded into 4 and put in a small mailer ... ok I know it was only like a fiver but come on Earache Records I wanted to frame and hang this ....

Is anyone else waiting for their order still?

Ordered black vinyl and signed lyric sheet back on 23rd April and still nothing. Tracking says it's been prepared and shipping is Royal Mail 48.

I'm not in any mad rush just wondered if it's likely been missed.

Wanted to acknowledge Benji's love for custard creams. They're his favourite biscuit ya know? What dya think?

Edit: this was the original post I made but for some reason at the time it didn't upload and I uploaded another and then deleted it thinking it was this one.

My new skindred "big tings" shirt,there were so many I wanted but could only afford one at the time so this beauty it was ❤️💛💚

So stoked to see the mail this morning. Time to find a good spot to display it along with this 22 yr old pic of Benji and me!

I wanted to order the signed and personalized CD of the new album, but I passed eventually.

Did anyone here order it? I'm curious to know how it turned out for you :)

This is the first signed record i've ever got, so i have no idea if the signed cover was supposed to come separately or not, so i'm just assuming it was.

I've got this as a tattoo as well but I've always loved the typography on Smile and the message of the album. Thought some of you would appreciate the patch. Love and unity ❤️

I saw Skindred for the first time at a festival in Florida in 2004. They blew me away and Benji became my favorite rock star that day when I was 14 (he still is as I write this at 36). I spotted him and Mikey walking around after their set, and they were very kind to this sunburned, mosh exhausted punk kid. They even signed it for me at another show a few years later. Happy to see them still killing it. Can't wait for my vinyl to arrive.🤘 Their music is a positive force the world needs right now. Love and unity folks, that's the way.

I have been able to find much or any at all, if anyone knows a website that has some of their sheet music for piano that would be great(mainly looking for gimme that boom) Ideally it’s free or not locked behind a ‘paywall’.

Do we think they will ever play America again?

I can't go to the later acoustic show and meet and greet tonight at Jacaranda Baltic in Liverpool tonight (have bought a ticket for the matinee instead) so I'm selling my ticket.

Available on twickets, will take offers! It includes a signed CD.

So I live in the US I wasn’t able to pre-order the album because shipping audit is like almost double what it cost for the album and I’ve been contacting local record stores to see if they’re going to get it in. Did anyone who pre-order it with the USB listen to the bonus track? And can you tell me at least the title so I could maybe search if it was ever posted anywhere else?
