Thirteen years after its release, Skindred have announced next year's re-release of 'Roots Rock Riot', on Friday 26th February. Written in the basement of a Newport boxing club, recorded in America and laying the groundwork for everything that followed it, 'Roots Rock Riot' is an important piece of Skindred’s history – a piece that this re-release celebrates. Indeed, it started life as that difficult second album, but featured what would become the permanent line-up of vocalist Benji Webbe, bassist Daniel Pugsley, guitarist Mikey Demus and drummer Arya Goggin. The re-release follows the recent announcement of next year's UK Showtime Tour, planned for September/October, where they will be joined by very special guests Royal Republic, that stops off at London's Roundhouse on Saturday 2nd October.
