About Skid Row
Skid Row is a hard rock band from Toms River, NJ, formed in 1986.
Skid Row was formed in Toms River, New Jersey in 1986 by guitarist Dave "Snake" Sabo and bassist Rachel Bolan, who wrote most of the songs. With Sebastian Bach on vocals, the self-titled 1989 debut sold in the millions, and the heavier follow-up, Slave to the Grind, went to number one on the Billboard 200 in 1991.
Bach left in 1996, and the band has worked through several singers since, with Sabo, Bolan and guitarist Scotti Hill at the centre. The 2022 album The Gang's All Here was their first full-length in well over a decade.
