Talk Toomey with Joshua ToomeyAuthor: Joshua Toomey
In the world of music podcasting, there are basically two categories - podcasts by fans, and podcasts by famed musicians that have reached the pinnacle of success. Somewhere in the middle of that is the Talk Toomey podcast. Hosted by Joshua Toomey, who previously was a member of national recording artists Primer 55, Talk Toomey avoids the pitfalls of fandom and the backslapping glad handing that comes from successful bands shamelessly talking to each other. Instead, you get focused, powerful and real looks into the inner circle of being a hard rock/heavy metal band, complete with questions most are too afraid to ask because their experience doesnt meet or exceed the level needed to ask and relate. Talk Toomey has been regularly hailed as a top show since the onset, being highlighted on sites like Blabbermouth, Brave Words, etc. Talk Toomey is released for music fans free every Thursday!

Monday, 15 June, 2026
On this episode of Talk Toomey, Joshua Toomey sits down with Rachel Bolan of Skid Row to discuss his brand-new solo record, Gargoyle of the Garden State. Rachel talks about how he brought in guests like Danko Jones and Corey Taylor for the album, along with whether fans can expect live performances and if he’ll be playing bass or guitar on stage. The conversation also covers Skid Row’s ongoing search for a new singer and reflects on the band’s memorable appearance on Saturday Night Live during their rise in the early ’90s and Pantera's impact on their longevity. Rachel also shares the childhood moment when seeing Gene Simmons of KISS made him realize he wanted to become a bass player. It’s a fun conversation full of new music, classic rock stories, and a look at what’s ahead for Rachel and Skid Row.
