They also reached number 1 in the Official UK Rock & Metal Charts, the Independent Album Charts, the Official Downloads Chart, and the Vinyl Charts, outselling most of the UK's biggest and most established Rock artists.
All of this followed an incredible career-defining year for Skindred, from winning the Award as Best UK Live act at the Heavy Music Awards to touring with Rock Legends Kiss as their special guests on their last ever UK tour. The band also graced the cover of Kerrang! magazine for the first time in their careers and performed their single Gimme That Boom on BBC 2’s Later... with Jools Holland. Aside from this, Singer Benji Webbe also appeared on Never Mind The Buzzcocks, and the band was also featured as guests on BBC Breakfast.
Added to this, the band's 00s hit “Nobody” also saw an electrifying resurgence following a viral TikTok dance trend, which saw the band having over 14 million hits on the Skindred hashtag in a matter of weeks. (Even in the last few weeks of 2024, one person dancing to Skindred’s classic Nobody has amassed 32 million views on their Insta too).
Meanwhile, the band's album 'Smile' attests to the enduring power of a band that delivers a good time, every time. “When I look out into the crowd, whether it’s in a small room or a festival crowd, the one thing I notice above all else is the smiles,” says Skindred's formidable frontman Benji. For him and Skindred – completed by guitarist Mikey Demus, bassist Daniel Pugsley, and drummer Arya Goggin – it’s about enduring and it’s about legacy. “In life, it’s about hearing that our music has encouraged people and gotten them through dark times. But even when we’re done and gone, people will still be listening to this music. That thought makes me smile."
