The Slits - CutThe Slits were one of the first punk bands and one of the last to make a record. On its release in 1979, the record was regarded as a five star triumph. The pioneering mix of the band's punk roots and legendary reggae producer Dennis Bovell created an extraordinary masterpiece that ranked alongside other 1979 ground breaking post punk classics such as Pil'sMetal Box,Unknown Pleasuresby Joy Division and the Pop Group'sYalbums.

The Banshees - Project Blue

with not a word or note wasted

bass and linear drum beats

named themselves after a piece of art by 1960s desert community / dome builders 'Drop City' and split the song-writing tasks equally between them

guitarist Neil Gregerson

treating all of Europe as his stomping grounds

while How Could I be Such a Fool and Stuff up the Cracks lampooned the melodrama of early rock ballads

and has never been bettered

I'm sure that MGM thought that they would be successful

and a cali canyon dead still nite floating in a nearly waterless landscape

struck a striking chord with listeners and amazingly went on to become one of their best-selling albums
