Slam Alley (some unknown Skid Row soundalike)

Post by Hellbound »

Anyone ever heard of these guys?

They sound a lot like Skid Row including the singer. I downloaded this 5 song EP that was recorded in 1995 and was unreleased until 2009 or something.

Edited to add that this link below is where I managed to acquire a lot of unknown/rare stuff. Most of the stuff on here is Metal Sludge bands. Some links won't work but i got at least 20-30 albums/eps this month.

This is the link for Slam Alley EP

If you download a file, its going to be called something like downloadedalbum.GIF or something. Change the extension (".GIF" to .RAR). RAR is a zip service like 7z. You don't need WinRAR to unzip a RAR file, just use 7z.

Yes i know its 2023 and 99% of people use youtube or spotify. Not this skinny guinea, I like LOSSLESS files like FLAC.

Wow! It's like they took Rattlesnake Shake, Midnight, Sweet Little Sister and jammed it all into one song! I love it!!!

Great album cover too! ;)

Where are they now? Where were they then?
