Skid Row’s Dave “Snake” Sabo On The New Album “The Gang’s All Here,” New Singer Erik Grönwall

Last month Skid Row released the impressive music video for its new single “Time Bomb.” The track comes from Skid Row’s forthcoming Nick Raskulinecz-produced album The Gang’s All Here, which is due for release via EarMUSIC on October 14, 2022. Its video wasco-directed by acclaimed director Dale “Rage” Resteghini (Five Finger Death Punch, Guns N Roses) and co-founding Skid Row bassist Rachel Bolan and notably utilizes the brand-new Arri Alexa 35 and handcrafted MasterBuilt Classic Lenses.

For The Gang’s All Here, the aforementioned producer Nick Raskulinecz (Foo Fighters, Alice In Chains, Superdrag) reportedly lit a creative wildfire by challenging Skid Row to deconstruct good ideas and rebuild them into something even better. It is the first Skid Row album to feature the group’s new vocalist Erik Grönwall, the hard-rock-loving winner of Swedish Idol and a solo artist in his own right.

Back in August, I had the pleasure of speaking with Skid Row co-founder Dave “Snake” Sabo again, this time via Zoom and embedded below. Beyond The Gang’s All Here, we talked about future plans for Skid Row — which also includes guitarist Scotti Hill and drummer Rob Hammersmith — and his adapted homebase of Long Island, New York. More on Sabo and Skid Row can be found here, here and here.
