  Metal Mayhem - Heavy Metal CDs and Videos - Rare and Hard to Find
With their cassette selling well and their constant gigging, the band went back in the studio in 1993 and recorded the “Vamp EP”, a 5 song CD that generated some label interest for the band, but the changing face of the UK music scene eventually lead to the band’s demise in 1996.
The band are also planning some live shows in support of the new release, so look for dates to be posted when the new CD is available.

 Skid Row (heavy metal band) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Skid Row was formed in Toms River, New Jersey in 1986 by bassist Rachel Bolan and guitarist Dave "the Snake" Sabo.
In what is referred to as "The Bottle Incident" by fans of the band, Bach was arrested and tried on charges of assault and battery for jumping into the crowd at a concert in Springfield, Massachusetts where Skid Row was opening for Aerosmith on December 27, 1989.
Slave to the Grind was a departure for the band; where Skid Row was an album that followed the typical hair band formula, Slave to the Grind had a heavier sound, even verging on thrash with the songs "Mudkicker" and the title track.

 No Life Til Metal - CD Gallery - Skid Row
Skid Row cover four of my favorites (Kiss, Judas Priest, Rush, Jimi Hendrix) and one that I have a lot of respect for and have seen live several times (the Ramones), even though I am not a collector of their music.
Skid Row wait until after grunge destroyed most of their contemporaries to release the follow up to their multi-platinum 'Slave to Grind.' Musically the band totally abandons the pop metal leanings and goes for a heavier, and meaner 1990's hard rock slam.
Of course their love for heavy metal is still apparent, but not to the extent as on 'Slave.' A few songs even take on a punk edge, like 'Bonehead.' What really makes this disc shine however, is the outstanding vocal performance of Sebastian Bach.

Often sleaze bands came across better live then in a studio that tried to harness their aggression.
