Walsh and Mercel had been playing in a band called Virgin Angel in 1986 when they moved on to another act called Portrait where Rob Bruce and Kevin Gale were added. Portrait rattled around the Southern Ontario club scene for about a year when their other guitarist vacated. Howarth replaced Mercel as bassist (who moved into the chair of lyricist) and Munro were added and Slik Toxik was
formed in 1988.
While opening for Succsexx at The Siboney club in Toronto, Bob Luhtala saw the band and signed them to a management deal. A demo was produced by Bob Potter (Scorpions) and shopped to the major labels. Capitol Records signed the band in 1991 and issued an EP, 'Smooth & Deadly' to test the hard rock waters.
Slik Toxik's full-length debut would see the band reach their commercial peak, going gold in Canada and winning a Juno award for 'Hard Rock Album of the Year' in 1993. Their singles "White Lies/Black Truth" and "Helluvatime" (which won 'Best Video Of The Year' and 'Best Metal Video' awards at the Much Music Video Awards in 1992) got massive airplay as the group toured from coast to coast with Kim Mitchell and Yngwie Malmsteen. With a new bassist in Adam Headland, a new independent label, a darker sound and a changing musical climate, Slick Toxik broke-up shortly after its next release.
After a short stint in Raised On Mars, Nick Walsh resurfaced with Crash Kelly's Sean Kelly in a band called Revolver and released the album Turbulence in 2004 while Kevin Gale teamed up with Killer Dwarfs member Darrell Dwarf Millar in Automan.
