FAMOUS UNDERGROUND is the new project of Nick Walsh, formerly frontman of SLIK TOXIK, together with his long-time bassist/musical partner Laurie-Anne Green at his side. Folks that remember life before grunge may recall the Canadian hard rock outfit kicking up a proverbial storm in the early '90s. SLIK TOXIK achieved Gold status in Canada with their full length Sleaze-Glamrock-debut " Doin' The Nasty" and took home the 1993 Juno Award (Canada's version of the Grammy) for Best Album of The Year. Sadly, in spite of their success, SLIK TOXIK called it quits in 1995 as grunge tightened its hold on the music scene. Nick Walsh and lead guitarist Rob Bruce formed the modern rock/hardrock band RAISED ON MARS, and together they released a self-titled debut. Walsh went on to form the hardrock band REVOLVER with CRASH KELLY's guitarist Sean Kelly. REVOLVER have produced two albums, one being a CD/DVD set. In 2011 the band changed its name into FAMOUS UNDERGROUND.

Press Quotes

A cross between GUNS N' ROSES when they were mean (Appetite For Destruction) and latter-day non-suck METALLICA ('Sad But True', 'King Nothing'), Famous Underground is a heady mix of '80s attitude and '90s grit.

     —Carl Begai , BRAVE WORDS

A mixture of late '80s L.A. sleaze and early '80s traditional metal, with the right pinch of current flavor. FU is like Skid Row, if Seb & Co. reunited, completely embraced their heavy metal side and forgot about the '18 and Life' dreck.

     —Patrick Prince, POWERLINE

This is a must own album. Easily a contender for Metal Album of the Year.

     —Celtic Bob, METAL RULES
