Revolutions Per Minute

American rock band Skid Row exploded onto the music scene in the late 80s, becoming a predominant force in the hard rock and heavy metal genre. Known for their raw energy, melodic hooks, and a relentless edge, Skid Row earned global success with hits such as ‘18 and Life’, ‘Youth Gone Wild’, or ‘I Remember You’. The band became synonymous with the rebellious spirit of the late 80s and early 90s, selling millions of albums worldwide and solidifying their place in rock history. Following the success of their last studio album, “The Gang’s All Here”, it’s easier to appreciate the quality that Snake Sabo, Scotti Hill, and bassist-songwriter Rachel Bolan have consistently brought to their discography — both during their golden years of hits and throughout the band's evolution. The band’s fifth studio album “Revolutions Per Minute” represents a pivotal moment in the band's career, with Skid Row stepping outside of their comfort zone and bringing new ideas and influences into the fold. The album showcases the band’s evolving style, combining their signature grit with a more modern, aggressive tone. Newly mastered in 2025, this reissue edition of “Revolutions Per Minute” offers fans the opportunity to rediscover this classic album and appreciate its enduring impact.
