Skindred turn up their Volume

Skindred will launch sixth album Volume on October 30 via Napalm Records – and they’ll back it with a UK tour also featuring Crossfaith, (hed) p.e. and Yashin.

Benji Webbe and co have released a short teaser featuring music from the follow-up to last year’s Kill The Power.

Frontman Webbe recently told Primal Magazine: “Life is an influence. Going to the pub and having a pint, there’s just so many lyrics there. Everything I’ve ever known, been taught or seen has gone into my songs.

“I want to be that guy who encourages somebody –all my favourite records have said something to me personally, and that’s what I want to portray in Skindred.”

More album details will be revealed in due course. Tour tickets are on sale now via Live Nation and Ticketmaster.

Not only is one-time online news editor Martin an established rock journalist and drummer, but he’s also penned several books on music history, including SAHB Story: The Tale of the Sensational Alex Harvey Band, a band he once managed, and the best-selling Apollo Memories about the history of the legendary and infamous Glasgow Apollo. Martin has written for Classic Rock and Prog and at one time had written more articles for Louder than anyone else (we think he's second now). He’s appeared on TV and when not delving intro all things music, can be found travelling along the UK’s vast canal network.
