the Slits, the art-guitar revelations of Television and Sonic Youth and the 21st-century dervish-noise assault of White Lung. But they’re both great, and they’re both here.

Cut by The Slits introduced an atypical group at the vanguard of female-fronted punk, influencing on everyone from Massive Attack to Sleater-Kinney. Sassy and streetwise: The Slits were everything girls in a band weren’t supposed to be before punk levelled the playing field, and their debut album, Cut, continues to astound. Admittedly, the feisty London-based quartet were well-placed to surf punk’s first wave. Dreadlocked, live-wire vocalist Arianna Forster (aka Ari Up) was the daughter of Nora Forster, future wife of Sex Pistols’ vocalist Johnny Rotten, while guitarist Viv Albertine dated The Clash’s Mick Jones and hung out with Sid Vicious. The Slits, though, were no one’s appendages and were determined to make a mark on their own terms.

Landmark records such as London Calling, Entertainment, and Unkown Pleasures were released in 1979, Cut ranks up there with every single one of them. Musically Cut blends soothing reggae beats with bouncy guitar lines and angst-ridden vocals
