THE SLITS

are one of the most significant female punk

rock bands of the late '70s. Not only did they

bravely (or foolishly, you be the judge) leap

into the fray with little, if any, musical ability

(on their debut tour with the Clash, Mick Jones

used to tune their guitars for them), but

through sheer emotion and desire created some

great music. This was especially true when

they worked with veteran reggae producer

Dennis Bovell, setting the stage for a future

generation of riot girls. Though much derided

in their short existence, what the Slits achieved

and what they meant to succeeding generations

of young female rockers cannot be

underestimated.
