Skindred Drop Explosive New Single ‘You Got This’ & Announce Ninth Album

November 13, 2025 rocknews

Welsh ragga-metal pioneers Skindred have detonated their brand-new single “You Got This”, the title track and first taste of their ninth studio album, set for release April 17, 2026 via Earache Records. The accompanying video is a riot of colour, sweat, and pure motivational fire.

Mikey Demus’s wrecking-ball riffs collide with Arya Goggin’s full-throttle drums, while Benji Webbe toasts, sings, and delivers hooks like a heavyweight champion. Born from Benji witnessing a stroke survivor’s gym struggle and hearing the trainer’s simple “You got this,” the song is an instant Skindred classic – empowering, addictive, and built to ignite arenas.

“It’s such an empowering statement and it applies to so many battles that everybody faces… For me, having songs that lift people who are going through tough times is the most important thing. I feel like that’s what I’m put on this planet to do.” – Benji Webbe

You Got This – The Album (April 17, 2026)

Produced by Grammy-winner Jay Ruston (Corey Taylor, Mr. Bungle, Desmond Child), the follow-up to 2023’s chart-smashing Smile (#2 UK Official Albums, MOBO Best Alternative Act, Heavy Music Awards Best UK Act) is described as all-killer-no-filler: slammers, mega-hooks, soundclash chaos, and dancehall vibes guaranteed to set venues alight.

Following their sold-out Wembley Arena headline and global festival domination, Skindred’s ninth record is poised to convert even more of the uninitiated.

Skindred – You Got This: The Future Is Bright

Now a powerhouse trio – Benji Webbe (vocals), Mikey Demus (guitar), Arya Goggin (drums) – Skindred stand taller than ever. From Wembley to dreams of Coachella and Glastonbury Pyramid Stage, the Newport Helicopter is ready for lift-off.

“When you’re in a band you’re always looking at the next thing… There are still so many people out there who should know us but have never heard of us. So, we’ve got this whole fight ahead of us still.” – Mikey Demus
