Westgate Under Fire

After their split in 1999, 3/4 of the band went on to form Skindred, however only frontman Benji Webbe remained by 2004. In 2014, the group reunited for a limited number of shows with Mikee Gregory on live drums.^[4][5] This was followed in March 2016 with the single "Fun Done"^[6] and "Making a Monster" in October that year. This was initially planned to be part of a series of singles that would eventually culminate in a full album through independent label Saint Ringland Records.^[7]

However, these plans eventually fell through until 2022, when the group announced Westgate Under Fire, inspired by the events of the Newport Rising, and important moment in the Chartist movement.^[8][9] The group reunited with Earache Records to release the album,^[10] and recruited a host of drummers to perform on the album alongside Gregory. The first single, "Blackkk Man", was released on 2 March 2022. The track was inspired by the murder of George Floyd and subsequent protests.^[11] Previous stand-alone single "Fun Done" is included on the album, while "Making a Monster" was renamed "Mary Shelley".
