Philadelphia Rock Band Soraia Reissues 2008 Album 'Shed The Skin' To Coincide with LP's 15th Anniversary

Philadelphia-based rockers Soraia have reissued the band's 2008 album 'Shed The Skin' via Stevie Van Zandt's Wicked Cool Records, to coincide with the LP's 15th anniversary. Available digitally and on both blue and gold vinyl, the record's 10 tracks have been newly remixed and remastered by the band's own Travis Smith and Grammy-nominated engineer Joe Lambert, respectively, and feature guest appearances from the likes of Richie Sambora, Lorenza Ponce, Bobby Bandiera, John Shanks and Jeff Kazee.

Frontwoman ZouZou Mansour says, "'Shed The Skin' was our first attempt at not only a more crafted and collaborative songwriting, but also a journey to finding what we had to say and if we could say it. We were in a different time in life, and very green, which has brought up both a joy recalling that time and also an admiration for how far we've come. One thing is true: Soraia keeps going. And that is the greatest thing that these songs have gifted to us. We hope you enjoy hearing them live when we perform them on tour this fall. We are having the best time bringing them back into our set!"

With every release, Soraia continues to gain experience, momentum, and strength. They have garnered the attention of many soulful rock legends in the music business, including Jon Bon Jovi, Steven Van Zandt, and Joan Jett. The core band features ZouZou Mansour (lead vocals), Travis Smith (bass), and Brianna Sig (drums). Together, they have unmatched chemistry and passion for the music they play.

The band recently returned from Sweden where they were hard at work on new music for release in 2025. In the meantime, Soraia will be supporting the re-release of 'Shed The Skin' with a fall tour that kicks off this week. See dates below
