The artist grew up in Illinois and states that a lot of the influences for the music she writes, which she labels as country, came from her midwestern-based childhood growing up on her “daddy and grandaddy’s farm.” She says “I spent my time in the woods, fields and rivers of Illinois. I grew up around cattle, horses, tractors, and radios that played old country, gospel, and classic rock and roll. I relate a lot to Loretta Lynn, even though I’m not from the South. She grew up in a rural area as well. She also had babies before she got her start. I may not be from the south, but I am country.”

The ‘Change of Heart’ singer earned nominations for Artist of The Year, Album of The Year and Song of The Year at the Americana Honors and Awards and tied for the most nominations of any single artist in 2023. 

Price held an enthralling performance at Lafayette back in August 2023. The Kings Cross, London venue opened and closed in 2020 due to the pandemic before reopening for good in 2021. It has a capacity of 600 and even though just two years old, has hosted big names such as The Pretenders, Loyle Carner and Charli XCX.

Following a huge summer of shows, which included performances at Glastonbury, Download, 2000 trees, and some highly acclaimed support slots at KISS’s final UK concerts, the band showcases the enduring power of their classic reggae-metal hybrid on a song that spreads a message of motivation and positivity. Lead vocalist Benji Webbe’s unique blend of spoken word and effortless belting coupled with some full-throttle metal riffage makes for a truly captivating listening experience that is sure to keep old fans invested, as well as appeal to a newer audience.  

Guitarist Mikey Demus weighs in on the significance of “Unstoppable” and how it reflects the band’s ethos in the song’s press release:

“People have tried and failed to put us in a box we refuse to live in. Skindred has a determination and a tenacity to stay true to ourselves, and true to our fans. Skindred will not be ignored. We are Unstoppable!”

Frontman Benji Webbe adds: “We keep going and we keep pushing forward. In life, it’s about hearing that our music has encouraged people and got them through dark times. But even when we’re done and gone, people will still be listening to this music. That thought makes me smile.”

The accompanying music video, directed by Steve Clarke, features miniature versions of the band members, demonstrating their fun-loving attitude and proving they don’t take themselves too seriously.

Watch the video below:

Recorded in the midst of the pandemic, Skindred’s latest studio effort Smile is an album that deals with big themes and an even bigger melting pot of genres. Alongside Nothing But Thieves producer Julian Emery, the four-piece put their stylistic range to the test, exhibiting great adaptability and inventiveness with a track-list that boasts everything from rock and pop to dub and electro.

With five singles already released – including the hard-hitting “Gimme That Boom” and pop-reggae triumph of “L.O.V.E. (Smile Please)” – all the signs seem to suggest that Smile will be Skindred’s masterpiece.

In support of the new album, Skindred will be embarking on a UK and Ireland headline tour in autumn.

The Torquay show was originally a part of their Crowd Surf the UK Tour. The original UK tour kicked off in April 2022 with eleven scheduled shows. Unfortunately, the Torquay show had to be postponed due to the venue being used as a Covid vaccination centre. The band announced the postponement on their Instagram page saying “We are having to postpone our show in Torquay on the 18th of April due to some issues with the venue that are out of our hands. This is a POSTPONEMENT, not a cancellation! Please hang onto your tickets – we are planning on making it back to Torquay in 2022 to play this show as soon as we can.” The band added an additional date in Bristol instead. 

The band, Jaret Reddick (guitar and vocals), Chris Burney (guitar), Rob Felicetti (bass) and Gary Wiseman (drums), are currently touring the US with Less Than Jake. The main support for the UK shows will be As December Falls, a UK pop-punk band from Nottingham who had great success with their 2021 album Happier. Also joining the support is Thomas Ian Nicholas (American Pie / Rookie of the Year) and his band. Nicholas was a guest on Reddick’s podcast (Jaret Goes to the Movies) last year and the pair discussed creating a new version of Bowling For Soup’s hit “1985” called “1999″ inspired by the events of American Pie. Since then, the bands have been firm friends. 

The tour comes after Bowling For Soups’ 11th studio album Pop Drunk Snot Bred was released to strong reviews. Kerrang! Magazine said the album is “a joyous and welcoming record made for beer-in-hand, arms-around-the-shoulder singalongs. Nearly three decades in, Bowling For Soup are proving they can still bring the pop-punk good times better than most.” And Ghost Cult Magazine said it was their “best musical performance to date.”

Tickets will go on general sale on Friday 29th July, more information can be found on their website.
