A Test Pressing is an extremely limited pre-production vinyl pressing used to evaluate sound quality before the full manufacturing run begins. These copies are usually produced in only a handful of units, making them highly collectible. Because of the slightly shorter pauses between tracks, which create an extra punk rock listening experience, this version did not make it to the mainstream market. As a result, only 23 copies of this specific version exist worldwide, making it a true once-in-a-lifetime collector’s item.
“Gargoyle of the Garden State” marks the solo debut of Rachel Bolan, bassist, songwriter, and co-founder of Skid Row. After more than 40 years shaping the band’s sound and attitude, Bolan now steps into the spotlight under the name BOLAN with his first solo release, featuring entirely new material.
The album was produced by multi-Grammy winner Nick Raskulinecz (Foo Fighters, Rush, Alice in Chains, Skid Row, Evanescence). Across eleven tracks, “Gargoyle of the Garden State” blends high-energy punk rock with catchy hooks, strong melodies, and plenty of attitude.
Bolan is joined by an impressive lineup of friends and collaborators, including his Skid Row bandmates Dave “Snake” Sabo, Scotti Hill, and Rob Hammersmith, as well as Corey Taylor, Danko Jones, Nuno Bettencourt, Damon Johnson, and Steve Conte.
“Gargoyle of the Garden State” is loud, direct, and authentic, capturing the spirit of friends coming together to make music and enjoy the moment.
“‘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.”
