The Slits were the female equivalent of The Sex Pistols on the British punk scene of the mid-late 1970s. Admired by Johnny Rotten and John Peel, The Slits were brave girls who would play in front of the type of audiences, who, to say were volatile, is like saying George Best was a useful footballer.

Consisting of members with the kind of colourful names which typified the period, such as Ari Up, Palmolive, and Suzi Gutsy, The Slits began as a punk band, before veering off into a more experimental direction.

The Slits were never commercially successful, with their name being a big drawback, and their 1979 debut album, 'Cut', probably scaring off many - what with the album's cover photo showing the band topless and covered in mud!
