I have said in the past that combining reggae with other forms of music is my holy grail. I have done it before to varying degrees of success, but I have not yet gotten my vision completely fulfilled.

A bass player I know by the name of Marc Greenstein of HEAD recently turned me on to a band that has certainly fulfilled their vision, and their name is Skindred.

Now a lot of reggae purists, or people who simply don’t like heavier forms of music will not like this band at all, but I DO

I grew up listening to all types of music, so I always like to hear ( and play ) hybrid forms of reggae.

When I heard and saw these guys, I must say, I was definitely blown away!

Tell me what you think!
