“The best time to be in Skindred is right now. This success, we are enjoying is the result of hard work and trust.”

We recorded this interview not long before Skindred’s eighth LP hit the stores…Smile has since gone on to land at number two in the UK charts… not the Rock and Metal charts, the actual charts. It missed out on the top spot by fewer than 300 copies. Here, in my chat with Arya we talk about how the band’s fans have remained loyal, how journalism is more important than ever, especially as tastemakers rarely actually are… we touch on how the band were huge in the States but less so in the UK and Arya is blunt about how fine the margins are in relation to being in a successful band, and a financially viable one, via a wonderful KISS anecdote. This is part two of two Check out part one on RTL Play….Cheers
