Today we are hanging with Erik Gronwall of Skid Row. Erik dropped by to chat with us about the bands new album “The Gang’s All Here” which comes out October 14th through earMusic. We touch on his whirlwind introduction to the band, finding his feet as not just a vocalist but a member and contributor.

We also touch on working with superstar producer Nick Raskulinecz on the album and what sounds like the next Skid Row album. Erik gives us his thoughts on tackling not just the songs on the new album but from the bands catalogue, and if we finally get a live album or DVD from the band sometime soon.

The Gang’s All Here firmly shows Skid Row moving in a forward direction and there is no doubt Rachel Bolan, Snake Sabo, Scotti Hill and Rob Hammersmith have found a missing piece to the Skid Row puzzle in Erik. Not just because he is an amazing singer, but as you will see and hear from our chat, he is an amazing human. Don’t forget Skid Row will be down in Australia in December, so make sure you have your tickets to see them.
