Skindred were crowned Best Alternative Music Act at the MOBO Awards this week in Sheffield.
“To be nominated for a MOBO is such a massive deal for me and the boys in Skindred,” says frontman Benji Webbe. “I’ve been watching the MOBO’s since it started and always wondered why they didn’t have an alternative music category but last year that changed and was rectified with the Best Alternative Music Act added to the award ceremony. Not in my wildest dreams did I think Skindred would be at the MOBO’s but due to that new category we not only got nominated, but we actually won! As much as we were the band that’s been around the longest in this year’s nominees we weren’t guaranteed to actually win. So when the Nova Twins called our name at the ceremony we were all genuinely thrilled, buzzed and surprised. We have had so many well wishes and incredible messages of support & encouragement from all over the World. It is a great time to be in Skindred, it truly is!”
“We are both humbled and honoured to receive our MOBO Award,” adds drummer Arya Goggin. “To be nominated was a dream come true, let alone actually win. I don’t think there are many bands that have won both a MOBO and a Metal Hammer award! This is what Skindred is all about.”
Skindred have also released a video for their single If I Could, check it out below.
