SLICK46 are a working class, street punk band based in Melbourne, Australia.

After forming in late 1998, Slick46 have went on to establish themselves as one of Australia’s hardest working & now longest running, independent street punk rock bands. During this time the band has always been busy, writing new material, recording, playing countless shows in Melbourne, as well as repetedly touring to major cities all over Australia. Also In recent years the Band has sucessfully toured the west coast & south western states of the U.S three times.

As a result of Slick46’s 2007 U.S tour, the band established a working relationship with U.S street punk label Longshot Music. Longshot went on to release Slick46’s ‘I Don’t Wanna’ album & a split 7’’ vinyl with U.S band the Harrington Saints in 2008. That year slick46 teamed up with the Harrington Saints for a west coast U.S.A tour.
