During a June 17 appearance on SiriusXM's "Trunk Nation With Eddie Trunk", SKID ROW bassist Rachel Bolan spoke about the band's recently launched first-of-its-kind partnership with USA company Sweetwater, the world's leading online retailer of musical instruments and pro-audio equipment, to search worldwide for SKID ROW's next lead vocalist.

The collaboration invites singers from around the world to audition for the opportunity to front one of rock's most enduring and respected acts.

Asked where the SKID ROW vocalist search stands at the moment, Bolan said: "Well, the campaign we did with Sweetwater Music was overwhelming, to say the least, and we've gone through the video submissions, about close to 400.

And there's a lot of really talented people out there, a lot of great singers." In response to rumors of a SKID ROW reunion with Sebastian Bach, Bolan stated: "It is what it is.

People could like us or they could not like us.

I really don't give a shit.

I want people to be at our shows.

We've been doing fine.

We've been doing great." When asked about when he hopes SKID ROW will return to touring and recording activity, Bolan replied: "We have the luxury of time.

Now, for SKID ROW, two years for me personally — two years is a long time for anybody, but for SKID ROW, we put out albums every eight years." Despite previous statements from Bach about reunion talks falling apart, Bolan shot down the possibility of rekindling his friendship with Sebastian, explaining: "Well… Here's the soundbite for Blabbermouth.

I wouldn't say we were friends when we were in a band together.

We were bandmates.

You know what I mean?" A new lead vocalist will be chosen through this worldwide search, and Bolan expressed confidence that the right candidate would emerge from the pool of talented singers participating in the search.
