SKINDRED's New Single "Gimme That Boom" Is A Blast

New album Smile is coming this summer.

UK metal rastas Skindred have dropped their latest single and accompanying video "Gimme That Boom," and it's loaded to the gills with nü-metal riffs and high-octane dancehall chant downs. The Welsh rockers also announced their latest LP, Smile—the group's 8th studio effort—is arriving on August 4 via Earache Records. You can check the video for "Gimme That Boom" just above.

“I was out shopping one day and I could hear someone building up asking me for a picture,” said Benji Webbe on the inspiration for the single. “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.”

Pre-orders for Smile are now available by visiting here. Currently Skindred is on tour in Europe with Danish metal maestros Volbeat, plus Bad Wolves and Napalm Death, depending on what night you go. You can check out those dates below.
