SKID Row will give their hunt for a new singer “a real push” in the coming days, according to guitarist Scotti Hill.
Appearing on the red carpet at a pre-Grammy event in Beverley Hills, Hill was asked about the process of replacing the New Jersey band’s last fulltime singer, Erik Gronwall, who departed in 2023.
“Yes, we are working on that,” Hill, 61, said.
“We’re gonna really get it kicking in here in a few weeks. Let me see — in about a week we’re gonna make an announcement for a real push and we’re gonna get it done and we’re gonna get the right person for the job and we’re gonna get back out there.
“It’s not an easy job. It’s not an easy job, really,” he said. “I mean, that stuff is really hard to sing. And it’s gotta be the right chemistry, because in our band we get along really great. We get along really well. We’re family, and we need somebody to be family with us.”
Bassist Rachel Bolan also spoken about the search late last year, telling the Rockstrap podcast: “We have a couple of guys on our radar.
“We’ve auditioned a few people, but we’re gonna do a big, gigantic… We were just waiting for the new year to start. Not so much an open call, but there’s a lot of people that wanna audition, so we’re just going — us and management and our producer, Nick Raskulinecz, we’re all going through each person saying, like, ‘Okay, let’s get in a room with this person. ‘This person [is a] little too young or a little too green,’ or ‘they can’t sing. Who told them they could sing?’ You get that too. So we have a couple of guys on our radar that we’re pretty excited about. So hopefully before the end of the year we’ll be back out on the road.”
