SKINDRED
ROOTS ROCK RIOT (HASSLE HINDSIGHT)
Crafted in a boxing club, recorded in America and laying the groundwork for everything that followed it, Roots Rock Riot is an important piece of Skindred's history - a piece that this re-release celebrates.
The first record of their discography to feature what would become the permanent line-up of Benji, Arya, bassist Daniel Pugsley and guitarist Mikey Demus, it started its life as that difficult second album.
What it became completely transcends that, bookending a difficult period of the band's existence and boldly kicking down the door to the future of their illustrious career.
Available on vinyl for the first time as well as CD, the re-release of Roots Rock Riot features rare cuts and previously unheard music.
As well as the complete tracklist of the original, the vinyl version of the record comes with an additional 7" containing two exclusive tracks: the aforementioned `It's A Crime' and `Struggle', which was never released.
The CD release also contains both those tracks and an acoustic version of `Destroy The Dance Floor'.
