Skate the Razor announces plans for upcoming twentieth anniversary

Skate the Razor, Both Friend and Foe, Greetings.


I guess there is no time like the present for acknowledging the obvious. The original members of Skate the Razor are currently writing and recording new material together to coincide with the upcoming twentieth anniversary of the band. We have been on a long journey together and separately, and we look forward to the group of us creating music together again.

As many followers of the band are aware, Ryan and I have continued to write together whenever possible, whether in Western New York, mid-Manhattan, or central Maine, we have found ways to keep the formula alive and fresh. As such, we anticipate little difficulty in bringing this project up to expectations. As for lyrical content, rest assured, there is always someone out there ready and willing to push my buttons. Once engaged, I have no problem reaching a boil. I have plenty to vent about.

One nice thing about this group of guys was their unwavering work ethic. The boys accomplished a great deal because they worked for it! Make no mistake, they worked hard, encountering more than their share of adversity along the way. The re-union project allows us to come together to celebrate our successes, and perhaps kick a few old demons back under the bed. For myself, it also provides me with an opportunity to properly thank all those who were supportive of Skate the Razor, through thick and thin, before the advent of the internet and Facebook and band blogs…

That having been said, I will be attempting to keep readers abreast of our progress, as we prepare for this project… Feel free to send me your questions and suggestions, as I want to hear what you have to say. I will also be posting video footage of our progress from time to time, and perhaps even snippets from some of the new tunes. Fortunately, we are geared up and ready to go, cause time passes quickly when we’re having fun…
