Skindred

A powerful mixture of ragga, punk and metal, Skindred have to be heard to be believed. With bits of dancehall, drum'n'bass and jungle thrown in for good measure, Skindred have a truly original sound; 'For Skindred, its all about the music, education, entertainment and 100% vibes.' (Benji – Skindred)

They proved themselves to have both a quirky sense of humour and an ear for blending upbeat nu-metal with sweet melodies with their first two singles ('Smooth Criminal' and 'Movies'). Yet, with 'Anthology', AAF cemented their place as one of the more mature and talented Nu-Metal bands to appear. Five albums in, they continue to deliver infectious riffs and well-written material, which proves that singing meaningfully about love in metal doesn't mean 'reach for the razors'.

A nu-metal band from Los Angeles, California.

Discovered by Korn vocalist Jonathan Davis, Californians Orgy emerged in the Goth music scene in 1998 with their incredible remake of New Order's ‘Blue Monday’. The track sold over 1 million copies and built a worldwide audience for the band. After a lengthy hiatus to work on their side projects, founding member and vocalist Jay Gordon decided to record and tour again for Orgy's fans under a new line-up: guitarist Carlton Bost (currently the guitar player for classic synth band Berlin), bassist Nic Speck, drummer Bobby Amaro and the multi talented guitarisr/bassist Creighton Emrick. With these new members joining the ranks to build a new and improved band, Orgy was transformed and are set to reestablish themselves in the hard rock and metal scene.
