SKINDRED’S BENJI WEBBE WANTS YOU TO “STAND FOR SOMETHING”

 Monday, September 14th, 2009 at 10:00am by

Benji Webbe is like the Mike Patton of reggae metal… or something. Many bands followed in the footsteps of Dub War but none approached the creative genius of that band. He’s a total badass and strikes me as kind of a weird/interesting dude, too.

So Benji’s new(er) band Skindred have a new mini-album Shark Bites and Dog Fights out September 22, and a video for the first single “Stand for Something” came out last week. It’s predictably pretty solid and positive in tone… par for the course for Skindred. One day perhaps this band will go on tour in the U.S. with bands that don’t suck and I will finally get to see them live.

      I was really hopin’ for some actual Reggae/Metal fusion. Not this Baha – Core shit! “Who let the Douche out?”

      Honestly, how in the world could you ever compare this shit to the brilliance of Mike Patton?!

    Skindred are still around? I had really hoped they all spontaneously combusted and nobody said anything because nobody cared.

    It’s no one’s fault that you hate Disturbed.

    Seriously though, this band is really fun to watch live. I saw them on that Disturbed/All That Remains tour in May and going in the only song I knew was “Nobody” (Catch fucking song), and while a lot of their other stuff doesn’t impress me, fun band live, and Benji has so much damn energy.

    the beginning of this song is a complete rip of of “millionaire..” by QOTSA. the rest is worse than dub war, ach…

  • noobpotato

    Been into Skindred for years. Saw them like 5 years ago with Nonpoint and they put on a great show, were able to pull off everything live and tons of energy.
