Although currently a cult band with a rabid fan base in their homeland, Skindred have already made phenomenal progress in the States. Having toured with the likes of Korn, Papa Roach and Sevendust, the band have also played shows with Killswitch Engage, My Chemical Romance and Nonpoint. ‘Babylon’ has also topped the US Reggae Album chart with over 300,000 sales registered – helped in part by a dynamic performance on Conan O’Brien’s show.
