Press Reviews SLICK PELT delivers the goods in an original and explosive package. Big, bad ass, rockabilly from Brooklyn blows away the competition in this genre!" - The Musician's Trade Journal; Well-written, diverse, and addictive are the best adjectives I can come up with to describe this New York City band's newest release." - The SlickKitty, Sparechange Magazine; "Slick Pelt finds solid fan base for unique brand of modern rockabilly" - George Fletcher, Rhythm and News; "Slick Pelt, a groovy group from yo-Brooklyn, has a new CD called XXX Rodeo that's self-released as well. These guys play rockabilly/punk/metal. They sound like Elvis if he were to jam with Slayer and Link Wray. They also have sort of a surf sound. Added in there, just for the fuck of it, is some Cramps. This thing rocks. The songs are tight, and the singer, Manny "Willy" Berlingo, has a voice that will melt the hearts of all the girls." - George Tabb, New York Press, March 1-7 2000; "Slick Pelt's XXX Rodeo CD is rockabilly at it's best. This 13 song gem a la Stray Cats left me wanting more..." - Rockin' Rican', More Sugar Entertainment, July 2000.
