Back in April Skid Row released ‘United
World Rebellion Chapter One’ which was a
7 track EP and also their first set of new music
in 7 years for the band and also the start of
a collection of EP’s which are due to be
released over the next couple of years. Throughout
October and November Skid Row are set to embark
on a lengthy tour of the UK and Europe with Ugly
Kid Joe and to coincide with this they are releasing
‘This Is Killing Me’ as an single.
‘This Is Killing Me’ is taken from
the ‘United World Rebellion Chapter One’
EP and proves to be an extremely listenable song
where Johnny Solinger really goes for it with
his vocals and lays down what could be classed
as the performance of his career as he lets rip
with a big diverse range of vocals whilst the
rest of the band softly play their instruments
giving the song a big country ballad feel.
Now I know a lot of people think Skid Row aren’t
the same without Sebastian Bach in the band and
that may well be true but with ‘This Is
Killing Me’ Skid Row have proved that they
still have the knack to write songs which easily
match if not better the greatness of ‘Youth
Gone Wild’ and ’18 And Life’
which have been fan favourites for years now.
