E318 Arya Goggin of Skindred on Album Titles, Lineup Changes, and Owning Your Style on You Got This
This week, we're scratching The Itch for a three-peat! Arya Goggin of Skindred (The Itch's Official Favorite Band™) joins the three-timer club to discuss their ninth album, You Got This. As with all of their albums, this one is full of genre-hopping earworms ranging from pop rockers to old school ragga-metal jams. In this conversation, we explore how the album got its title (and get some insight into how Skindred almost "jumped the shark" on a previous album), how a Hennessy bottle made it into the recording, and how Benji's impeccable style comes with some job hazards.
Plus, we explore Skindred's new normal as they embark on their first ever album cycle without founding member Dan Pugsley. And The Itch is down a man ourselves, as (also for the first time ever) KC is out of commission due to technical troubles. But in keeping with the theme of the episode, Dan and Aaron just had to tell themselves... you got this. Enjoy. And hey, grab yourself a free download of the singles from You Got This and Smile, courtesy of the band!
