SKID ROW bassist Rachel Bolan is set to release his debut solo album, "Gargoyle Of The Garden State", on June 12 via earMUSIC.
Produced by Nick Raskulinecz, the LP will feature guest appearances from Bolan's SKID ROW bandmates and other notable musicians.
The album's second single, "Anything But You", is available to stream below.
According to a press release, "Gargoyle Of The Garden State" is "a bold, deeply personal debut rooted in the grit, attitude, and storytelling spirit of his New Jersey upbringing." Bolan describes the album as not just a project but every bit of his soul.
Musically, the album delivers hook-driven, anthemic songs that fuse punk energy with melodic sensibility, wrapped in swagger and raw edge.
The album will be available on CD digipak, LP gatefold, digital, and download formats.
A music video for the LP's first single, "At War With Myself", featuring Canadian rocker Danko Jones, is also available below.
In a recent interview on the "Rockstrap" podcast hosted by Don Jamieson and Keith Roth, Bolan discussed his solo record.
He explained that working with producer Nick Raskulinecz was a unique experience, as he had previously worked with Raskulinecz on SKID ROW's 2022 album "The Gang's All Here." Bolan also spoke about playing most of the instruments and singing on the record, stating it was a whole different dynamic from making a SKID ROW album.
He expressed excitement to see Raskulinecz' enthusiasm for his songs.
Bolan has been married to his longtime girlfriend Leila Porreca since July 2024.
Prior to relocating to Nashville, Tennessee, Bolan had lived in Atlanta, Georgia for about 14 years and then moved back to his former home state of New Jersey after living in Nashville for eight years.
