According to bassist Rachel Bolan, the band has narrowed its focus and is feeling confident about the direction of the search as they head deeper into 2026.
“We’ve auditioned a few people,” Bolan explained, adding that the band wanted to wait for the new year to fully restart the process. Instead of an open call, Skid Row is being selective, taking time to meet candidates in person and see how they truly fit.

Skid Row New Singer Search Gains Momentum
“We’re all going through each person saying, ‘Okay, let’s get in a room with this person,’” Bolan said. He noted that some singers are “a little too young,” others “too green,” and some simply not strong enough vocally. For Skid Row, honesty is part of protecting the band’s legacy.
That approach seems to be paying off. Bolan shared that the band is excited about the candidates they’re currently considering and hinted that fans could see Skid Row back on the road before the end of the year if everything lines up.
“We had a really good thing going with Erik,” Bolan said. “I think the road was just too much for him with his past health issues.” He added that Grönwall fit in well and was loved by fans, making the split especially disappointing.
At the same time, rumors of a reunion with original singer Sebastian Bach continue to surface. However, Bolan and guitarist Dave “Snake” Sabo have repeatedly shut down the idea, saying it’s not something the band wants to revisit.
Still, the heart of Skid Row’s future depends on finding the right voice. The band isn’t rushing, and Bolan says they’re comfortable taking the time needed to get it right. With no immediate tour pressure, they can afford to be patient and selective.
