Skindred announce new album “Smile”, share new video “Gimme That Boom”

Skindred have announced the release of their eighth studio album “Smile”, out on August 4, 2023 via Earache Records.

To mark the occasion, Skindred have released a new single, alongside a music video for the track “Gimme That Boom“.

Frontman Benji Webbe shares the single’s inspiration:

“I was out shopping one day and I could hear someone building up asking me for a picture. The person didn’t care who I was with or what I was doing – they just wanted their picture. In this day and age, people want you and they expect to get you on tap, constantly giving you that ‘boom’ so they can get their Instagram likes up. It’s important to remember that people can’t give you that ‘boom’ all the time. People think because they follow you on social media, they own you.”
