Biography:

“A force to be reckoned with” is what Bobby Blotzer of Ratt says about Texas’ own hard rocking foursome Slickfist. In 2004 Slickfist was formed to bring their own brand of raw power rock to the masses. Molded by southern rock, grunge and a little metal Slickfist is a Molotov cocktail just waiting to go off. Slickfist is Tom Gidley pounding out the beat, Chris Farrell laying down the fat strings, Lee Williams growling rabid guitar riffs and the monstrous voice up front. “A four piece with extraordinary balanced sound, Slickfist throws out some outstanding guitar riffs and harmonizing vocals…”-Susan Thorsen, All Access Magazine.

Press:

“Here's a slab of good rock and roll out of Texas. From beginning to end this CD rocks you to the core and doesn't let up an inch. It's like these boys know what rock and roll is. It's a fist pumping, adrenaline surging, beer drinking good time! I definitely recommend picking this up.”
RockNetChick - Rock Net Webzine

“Slickfist beat finalists from Washington, Florida and Australia with its album Subharmonic Addiction,”
Carl Hoover - Waco Tribune Herald

“Next up was the band Slick Fist. I was not to be disappointed. They did have that oldschool hard rock thing going for them....”
Arnold Wells - Your Texas Music Notes

“There is no doubt in my mind that this band is one of Texas's elite groups of musicians. Their songs are well arranged and produced, containing the quality of compositions that other highly recognized bands lack. This added to a live performance level that is worthy of any stage...John Porter~+~”
John Porter-Raging Saint - Myspace Comment

Musicians Atlas

“Slickfist took the stage at Rock The Bayou in Houston, Texas in next to unbearable heat in the mid-afternoon heat of the day (and I mean HEAT) and still managed to pull of a very high energy, rocking set”
Susan Thorsen - All Access Magazine

"Your CD entitled Subharmic is terrific! I am a fan! And I'm extremely excited to have your music on BBS Radio!"
Douglas Newsome - BBS Radio

“This release is a very stylishly mixed and forceful hard rock compilation of work. Produced by Bobby Blotzer, formally of the band Ratt, this is one of the most well produced, powerfully refined cd’s out there that comes from an “indie” label.”
Susan Thorsen - All Access Magazine
