New single & video available now
Skid Row has released “Tear It Down,” the latest single and video from its forthcoming The Gang’s All Here album, due this fall. “Tear It Down” is everything fans ever loved about Skid Row all in one — swaggering vocals, a signature guitar riff, groove to burn, and a call to action.
“‘Tear It Down’ is about breaking down barriers. Because coexisting isn’t about building walls; it’s about getting rid of them,” says Rachel Bolan.
The video, which was produced by Take 2 Productions/Rosey Media, was filmed in the band’s home state of New Jersey, and perfectly captures the raw and gritty nature of Skid Row’s music.
The Gang’s All Here is the octane of an attitude that’s been festering since the band formed in 1986. Producer Nick Raskulinecz lit a creative wildfire by challenging them to deconstruct good ideas and rebuild them into something even better, something timeless. He became the arbiter of their legacy, daring them to revert to instinct and be the same rambunctious kids who made their first two albums.
The new album introduces Erik Grönwall from the Swedish band H.E.A.T. as new Skid Row singer. The band had been working on the album with former vocalist ZP Theart before scratching those tracks for Grönwall’s. There’s no additional information as to why Theart was replaced.
The album will be available on CD and multiple vinyl configurations, including black LP, limited edition 180-gram white LP and limited edition 180-gram transparent red LP. It’s due October 14th via earMUSIC, a month later than initially expected after Dave “The Snake” Sabo confirmed in February on an episode of The Music Universe Podcast that the album would drop in September.
