EXCLUSIVE ALBUM PREMIERE – Mike Skill Releases “Skill…Mike Skill” Solo Album


Today is the day! Legendary Classic Rock artist, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Mike Skill, best known as a co-founding member of The Romantics for the past four decades, has released his debut solo album. Skill…Mike Skill, today – Friday, October 8, 2021st, and you can stream it here at Ghost Cult! Skill’s new album consists of 11 original songs penned by Skill as well as the rocker’s recent remake of “What I Like About You,” which Skill co-wrote with Romantics bandmate Jimmy Marinos in 1979. The album features Skill on lead and backup vocals, lead guitar, rhythm guitar and bass along with Brad Elvis (current member of The Romantics) and Kevin Rankin (A Flock of Seagulls) on drums. Also featured are Mc5’s Wayne Kramer on “‘67 Riot,” Ricky Rat on guitar, Chloe F. Orwell on guest vocals and Patrick Harwood on harmonica. Jam out to “Skill…Mike Skill” right now!

 

 

“It’s my party, I think I’ll stay and play and play if that’s ok! (From “Sinner’s Song”)
About his new album, Mike comments:
This is my first creation on my own! It’s me, starting from a whole different place… Inspired by and with contributions from some of the most talented artists, friends and family (that I know) in music.
It wraps you up and kicks your ass, with bumps and bruises, cuts and gashes. It’s reflective and freeing with forward motion, like a wild ride with the top down!

 

This Fall, Skill presents his six singles along with six more originals in his debut solo body of work, Skill…Mike Skill, produced by Chuck Alkazian (also produced Eminem and Chris Cornell). Look out for the vinyl edition to follow later this year.
