| "They
(The Slits) were loud brash bold and unrepentant.. they never
compromised their image or stance...they must have inspired loads of
women to pick up a guitar and form a band....they were pure punk
driven by female power...they shocked a lot of people, both on and of
stage. They were dangerous, and their very presence threatened those
that considered rock to be a male-only pursuit." Mark
Perry 'And God Created
Punk'
"..not so much music
as aural posturing designed to elevate them above the posing punkette
ordinaire....Any other band who couldn't carry a tune and couldn't get
a recording contract would be tossing and turning all night. But The
Slits sleep as snug as smug bugs in a rug. Because
co-incidentally their whole dalliance with show business has been
courtesy of Arianas's mother." Burchill/Parsons
