Formed in 1986 the group enjoyed mainstream affection in the late 1980's and early 90s with albums like Skid Row and Slave to the Grind, but bassist Richard Bolan explains “we needed to reintroduce Skid Row as relevant without relying too much on past success".

Skid Row is gearing up to record the final installment of the United World Rebellion trilogy, a name the band have given for a series of EP's they started releasing way back in 2013.

With these new songs,Drummer Rob Hammersmith knows its "that sound and energy that resonates with people and knocks them on their ass!"

The Academy gig in Dublin takes place on Friday, March 2 and will be followed up by a gig in Belfast's Limelight on March 3.
