Formed in 1986, Skid Row are New Jersey kids with a punk and metal attitude, determined to conquer the world. All for one, banded together with single-minded purpose. The battlefield was the stage, the songs their arsenal in an us-against-them musical coup d’état.

With Top Ten singles including “18 and Life” and “I Remember You,” gold and multi-platinum sales and a No. 1 album on the Billboard chart, the world was theirs, the rebellion won, until there was nothing left to fight for — so they fought each other. Following an ill-advised South American tour in 1996, the band was finished, but the camaraderie never died.

“When we put the band back together, we needed to reintroduce Skid Row as relevant without relying too much on past success,” explains bassist Rachel Bolan. “We wrote songs and hit the road. We sunk our heart and soul into it, letting people know we weren’t doing it for lack of anything better to do.”

Guitarist Snake Sabo continues, “We seem to be at our best when we’re faced with adversity. It’s us against the world again — and by us, I mean the band and the fans who stick with us and carry the Skid Row torch without fail.”

Now, Skid Row is gearing up to record the final installment of the United World Rebellion trilogy. Recording new songs means capturing the signature Skid Row energy, the sound is rambunctious exuberance. They got older, but Skid Row never really grew up. United World Rebellion – Chapter Three is still the youth gone wild, their musical spark still burning gasoline.

Warrant was one of the most popular pop-metal bands of the late '80s, emerging from Los Angeles' thriving hard rock scene. With a pair of double-platinum albums and three Top Ten singles including "I Saw Red" and "Cherry Pie,” Warrant released a total of nine studio albums with international sales of albums and singles combined at approximately 10 million.
