\"\"<\/a>A new chapter begins for\u00a0SKID ROW.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>After more than two years away from the stage and an extensive global search, legendary hard rock band\u00a0SKID ROW<\/strong>\u00a0have officially announced
\nJUSTIN SARGENT<\/strong> as the new lead singer, ushering in an exciting new era as the band celebrates its 40th anniversary.\u00a0And in a fitting twist of fate, after searching around the world, Skid Row found their new voice right where it all began – in their home state of New Jersey.<\/p>\n

Sargent first caught the attention of the band last year. His powerful vocals, commanding stage presence, and natural connection to the music immediately stood out. What followed were months of conversations, rehearsals, and time spent together, ultimately confirming that the band had found not just a new singer, but a brother-in-arms.\u00a0\u201cHonestly, for me, it felt like he had been here from the beginning as soon as he walked in the room. He was one of us. A lifer. Then he sang with so much power and conviction, it blew me away. It was amazing.\u201d \u2013\u00a0<\/em>Rachel Bolan<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWe were so fortunate to receive so many audition submissions from singers wanting to front the band. We wanna thank everyone for their \u00a0<\/em>time and effort. There are some truly amazing singers out there! But I\u00a0think that the moment Justin walked in the door we all kind of knew\u00a0he was the guy. Everything about him; his voice, his attitude, his\u00a0demeanor, it all just fit. We can\u2019t wait to hit the ground running and\u00a0get back to doing what we love to do.\u201d \u2013\u00a0Snake Sabo<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been singing Skid Row songs for years, but never imagined I\u2019d actually be joining the band! It\u2019s an incredible honour to be part of something with such a legendary history. The chemistry and energy\u00a0we\u2019ve found together over the past several months has been amazing. I have tremendous respect for the band\u2019s legacy, but I\u2019m even more excited about what lies ahead. I can\u2019t wait to get out there,\u00a0connect with the fans, and give them everything I\u2019ve got. Let\u2019s go!\u201d \u2014 Justin Sargent<\/strong><\/p>\n

The announcement follows an extensive worldwide search that attracted overwhelming interest from singers across the globe. Earlier this year, Skid Row partnered with leading music retailer Sweetwater\u00a0to further extend the search and engage the global music community.<\/p>\n

The band extends its thanks to everyone who submitted performances and supported the journey. The response from musicians and fans around the world was nothing short of extraordinary.<\/p>\n

A NEW VOICE. A NEW CHAPTER. THE SAME UNCOMPROMISING ROCK ‘N’ ROLL SPIRIT.<\/strong><\/p>\n

To celebrate the announcement, SKID ROW have unleashed a powerful new recording of the classic THE WHO<\/strong> anthem \u201cWon\u2019t Get Fooled Again<\/strong>,\u201d accompanied by an electrifying new music video.<\/p>\n
