Skid Row has released a new single, Time Bomb, taken from the band’s upcoming album The Gang’s All Here. The official music video for Time Bomb, will be made available on September 28th, was helmed by director Dale “Rage” Resteghini (Five Finger Death Punch, Guns N’ Roses) whom bassist Rachel Bolan sought out to realize his artistic vision for the song about humanity’s continuing struggles with self-indulgence and monotony.
“What would it be like to be in that position?” Rachel asks. “Just be completely going about life, your normal everyday thing, but you’re thiiiiis close to just completely losing your shit?”
Rage, known for his ability to get extremely visceral performances and coming up with eye catching visuals, collaborated with Bolan while using the film world’s latest breakthrough in cinematography, the brand-new Arri Alexa 35 and handcrafted MasterBuilt Classic Lenses helping create the stellar look for Time Bomb.
The Gang’s All Here will arrive on October 14th through earMUSIC. The group recorded most of the LP in Nashville, Tennessee with producer Nick Raskulinecz, who has previously worked with Rush, Alice In Chains, Foo Fighters, among many others.

Swedish singer Erik Grönwall joined Skid Row in January as the replacement for ZP Theart, who had been in the group for more than six years. Theart played his final show in February, before being dismissed from the band.
Grönwall was a member of the Swedish hard rock band H.E.A.T. with whom he recorded four studio albums — Address The Nation (2012),Tearing Down The Walls (2014),Into The Great Unknown (2017) and H.E.A.T II (2020) — before leaving the group in October 2020.

Love Grönwall’s voice, and the energy he brings to the band. No doubt the best vocalist they have had, since Bach.
Clever move concerning the album cover. Logo prominent, band members’ backs to the viewer. The average person sees the familiar logo and doesn’t see that Bach isn’t in the picture, at least at first look. The face of the band, Bach, is absent, but the logo draws you in.
Mr Rock,
Thier logo is probably The WORST of all those bands from that era
I don’t know if I like this. Doesn’t sound like Skid Row; sounds just like a regular band. I might have to Spotify it a while to see if it grows on me before I consider purchasing it.
It sounds like a regular band because Bach is all around instantly recognizable. Sales will speak.
