Come on then, Benji – when are Skindred gonna do Eurovision?
“You know what, bro, I’m a champion for Europe and if we got the opportunity, we’d sing it loud and proud. Johnny Rotten and PiL tried out [this year with the song Hawaii] and I thought it was great; if we keep hiding in metal world that’s all we can ever do, but I want to shine a light on our music, let the world see how strong and passionate we are.”
Nu metal’s blowing up again. Did you ever feel like Dub War or Skindred fit in with that crowd?
