Skid Row’s Rachel Bolan unleashes his solo debut album, “Gargoyle Of The

Garden State”

- OUT NOW EVERYWHERE

After four decades as a driving force behind Skid Row, bassist and

songwriter Rachel Bolan steps forward with his first solo album under the

name BOLAN. At its core, “Gargoyle of the Garden State” is Bolan at his

most honest, a bold, deeply personal debut rooted in the grit, attitude, and

storytelling spirit of his New Jersey upbringing. It’s a record shaped by

decades of experience, driven by a fresh, fearless creative energy.

Early reactions have been positive, with critics noting the album’s

authenticity and character, and fans showing interest in Bolan’s more

personal side. LISTEN HERE

Produced by multi-Grammy winner Nick Raskulinecz (Foo Fighters, Skid

Row, Rush, Evanescence, Alice In Chains). The album began as a simple

conversation between friends. What started casually quickly evolved into a

record that would ultimately define Bolan’s voice as both a songwriter and

storyteller.

“Gargoyle of the Garden State is not a project, it is every bit of my soul,”

says Bolan. “Like me, it knows when to be serious and also knows where the

party is.”

“Gargoyle of the Garden State” also features an impressive lineup of

guests, including Corey Taylor, Danko Jones, Nuno Bettencourt, Damon

Johnson, Steve Conte, and fellow Skid Row members Scotti Hill, Dave

“Snake” Sabo and Rob Hammersmith.

“It was incredible to work with so many of my talented friends,” Bolan

says. “An experience that I wish everyone could feel at least once in their

life.”

The record delivers several standout moments, including a surprising cover

of Oasis’ “Rock And Roll Star,” reimagined through Bolan’s distinctive lens.

Expanding well beyond his role as a bassist, Bolan performs most

instruments himself, shaping the record from the ground up. Drawing on

influences ranging from Brit Pop and Glam to Punk Rock and New Wave,

the album reflects a lifetime immersed in music.

The album is available as CD digipak, LP gatefold, as well as digital and

download. GET IT HERE! Along with D2C Exclusive Products including
