X-ray Spex were pretty out there musically (especially with a sax). But yeah the Slits were mad. wrong guitar, wrong voice, wrong beat. BUT a FUCKING GOOD BAND.

Hats off to the Slits and Dennis Bovell for this work of genius, lyrics way ahead of their time, music from Mars, and Ari’s incredible vocal pyrotechnics.

Yeah R.I.P ARI ...I LOVE THE SLITS I got into them in 1978 after hearing typical girl's.. I was also getting into PUNK and SKA, REGGAE, in fact I'm still a punk today 🏴😊💣💥🔥🔥 I like how they mixed PUNK ROCK AND REGGAE ... along with THE RUTS, THE CLASH, and later the SPECIALS who had the punk attitude, and mixed SKA AND PUNK , even now THE SELECTER ,, quite often play at PUNK gigs I still love the SLITS and their music 🍺😊👍🇧🇴🇧🇴☮️☯️🏴🏴🅰️🏴🏴🇧🇴🇧🇴...🏴😊💣💥🔥🔥

i’m pretty sure it’s budgie drumming on this track and the rest of the album. palmolive is also great though, you can hear her in the peel session or any other early recording. she’s also the drummer for the raincoats second album and she’s great there too.
