I don’t think there are any other bands out there that manage to combine reggae sounds with loud guitars quite like these guys do. Sure, you had the Bad Brains but they are in a league of their own and actually don’t have a lot in common with these guys.
On “Shark Bites And Dog Fights” South Wales’ Skindred launches another batch of ragga metal tunes and do a solid job with them. They show this right off the bat with “Stand For Something”, a powerful song with some electronic touches and an infectious chorus. Most of the other songs follow that same structure except for the mellow “Who Are You”, the only song that didn’t need to be included for me. Other than that this is a short (only 30 minutes) yet enjoyable album. Hell, even the cover of Eddy Grant’s “Electric Avenue” is fun!
Score: 7 out of 10
