Working class street punk band slick 46 formed late 1998 by brothers Tim and Paul Mumford. After 10 years with the band bass player Owen Dwyer decided to call it a day in 2009. Tim (Guitar/Vox), Paul (drums/Vox) and Flea (Bass/Vox) make up the current day lineup. Slick 46's music is unashamedly old school with plenty of sing-a-long chorus and loud guitar riffs. their influences are obvious- The Clash, Stiff Little Finers, Sex Pistols, Sham 69 and current day bands such as US Bombs.




Slick 46 shows are highly energetic. With a strong DIY ethic Slick 46 tours extensively across Australia and has recently completed their third headliner US tour in 2009. Slick has played with renowned international bands such as The Business, Anti Nowhere League, Peter and the Test-tube Babies, Sham 69 & Beerzone. Through supporting international acts and prevalent headline shows Slick 46 has gained a large following across our shores and overseas and become known as one of Australias hardest working and now longest consistently running independent street punk rock bands.




To date Slick has independently released 3 EPs- 1999s no nonsense 'Kicked out of Everywhere' (out of print), 2001's guttural EP' Stand in Line' and in 2006 'Move Aside' filled with straight up street punk anthems. In 2008 Slick 46 teamed up with USA label Longshot Music and together have released full length CD 'I Dont Wanna' (2008) which continues with the dirt-simple formula of classic punk and oi!, a split 7inch vinyl with US Oi band the Harrington Saints (2008) and 'Young Love'(2009)




Slick 46S most recent release 'Young Love' is available on both vinyl and CD through Longshot Music and Contra Records, new bass player Flea brings a melodic female voice to the band, evening out Tims gravelly throated-whisky effected vocals. On this recording the band is also joined by Paul Lindsay of influental hardcore band Vicious Circle for backup vocals and to sing an acoustic version of (usually) fast paced track Wasting Away (available on vinyl only).




2010 see's the band once again touring our shores extensively with many local shows, Sydney in May, Brisbane shows in June and hitting South Australia in August and Tasmania late in the year. Slick 46 will also be in the studios to record for their next split 7inch due out November 2010 and next EP due out 2011.
