ROUND HILL MUSIC INKS WORLDWIDE ADMINISTRATION DEAL WITH HAIR METAL ICONS SKID ROW

Round Hill Music has added another iconic band to its stellar publishing stable with the signing of Skid Row. The band has inked a worldwide administration deal for their catalog. Of the signing, Round Hill CEO Josh Gruss commented, “Skid Row is an incredibly powerful band that I first saw play as a 12-year-old, new to the world of live music, at The Ritz in New York City with Japanese rockers EZO opening up. It was an experience I will never forget. Then to get to know Snake and Rachel personally more recently, and to have them on our roster at Round Hill, I could not be more thrilled. We will do a great job representing their publishing”. Skid Row guitarist Snake Sabo affirmed, “The passion that Josh and everyone at Round Hill has shown towards Skid Row and our music made this a no-brainer! Their enthusiasm is infectious and we couldn’t ask for a better partnership moving forward.” Skid Row bassist Rachel Bolan added, “I’m very happy to be working with Round Hill. And excited for what the future will bring.”

Formed in 1986 in New Jersey alongside longtime friends and colleagues Bon Jovi, Skid Row exploded onto the music scene with their 1989 eponymous debut. With such ubiquitous hits as “Youth Gone Wild,” “I Remember You” and “18 And Life,” the quintet were mainstays on MTV and the radio. Their sophomore effort, SLAVE TO THE GRIND, was the first album in the metal genre to debut at #1 on the Billboard Album chart in 1991. After releasing one more studio album, the band disbanded in 1996. Skid Row regrouped in 1999 and continues to tour globally. They are currently in the studio, hard at work on a new album.

To date, Skid Row has sold upwards of 20 million albums worldwide and has shared the stage with such rock deities as Van Halen, Bon Jovi, Aerosmith, Motley Crue, Soundgarden and many more. They have played such major global festivals and venues such as Donington, Wembley, Download, Giants Stadium, Hellfest and even played in Russia at the ground-breaking, high-profile Moscow Music Peace Festival in 1989. Skid Row is Snake Sabo (guitars), Scotti Hill (guitars), Rachel Bolan (bass), ZP Theart (vocals) and Rob Hammersmith (drums).
