Arya Goggin is the monster behind the drum kit in the band famed for their fusion of heavy metal, punk rock, electronica and reggae music.
In this interview we chatted about how he got into Skindred, the decoy in his audition and who held the deciding vote on his future with them.
We discussed tour life, mental health on the road and the album’s that didn’t come naturally to the band.
He talks about the first time they played Download Festival and names who got them bumped down the festival line up, how the first Newport Helicopter stunt almost went wrong and the Eastenders actor that’s scarred for life from doing it.
As Skindred prepare to go on tour this August, playing 11 dates around the UK as part of the Utilita Live At The Drive In Concert series, hear what they’ve been doing in lockdown and what 2021 holds for them.
