Slits - Cut (1979) (@256)












Another Island records release. This time, a post-punk album by an all-girl group that lived from the inside the UK punk explosion, but they released their debut when it had already deteriorated. So much the better, I reckon. Within these few years they evolved their sound from the typical UK punk, to a jagged, dub-orientated, discordant hybrid, which came along with the unique squealing vocals of Ari Up.
Amazingly, I read that the Slits are about to release a new album titled "Trapped Animal", their first since 1981's "Return Of The Giant Slits"!

  1. Hi Folks,

    Sorry to clog up your comments... We’re fellow bloggers, We’re Late For Class. Since 2007, we’ve posted 39 releases of FREE live improvisation and experimental/psychedelic music on our blog... just for the heck of it.

    We’ve just released #40 Another Collection, a free 2-CD best of collection and we wanted to see what you thought (Rolling Stone doesn’t seem to be interested). A link in your blogroll would mean a lot to us, as that’s our only source of blog traffic.

    You’re also welcomed to post #40 Another Collection for your readers, if you’d like. We’ve even made it easy by creating a page of codes to our nifty animated, future of online rock n roll cover, MP3 players (your readers can listen to it all on YOUR blog) and even a short write up about us you can use (or abuse or edit) if you don’t have the time to indulge in 2-CDs worth of stoner mayhem.

    Let us know what you think. We’ll be happy to post links for you in our blogroll and, in the future, when our species comes to rule this planet, your name will be on the protected scrolls so that no harm will come to you.

    Thanks in advance,
    We’re Late For Class
