#053 Benji Webbe (Skindred)

By Matt Stocks

Matt's longtime friend Benji Webbe is this week's guest on Life In The Stocks. The Skindred frontman recalls the night his band headlined Brixton Academy the night after the Bataclan incident in Paris and shares his thoughts on the debate that raged around Eagles Of Death Metal frontman Jesse Hughes in the wake of that attack. Webbe also responds to his own media backlash following an altercation involving Baby Metal at the Kerrang! Awards in 2016 and finally shares his side of the story. And, of course, we talk about the new Skindred album 'Big Tings' as well as Benji's other musical projects, including his solo reggae album, his country & western side project Diamond Spiders and his band with Robert Trujillo & Whit Crane: Mass Mental. It's warts and all honesty and it's coming at you NOW!!!
