Our Take

The Slits - In the Beginning Back in the day, before girl power was even a twinkle in the Spice Girls' eyes, The Slits were smashing the patriarchy with their raw, rebellious sound. "In the Beginning" captures the essence of the band's early days, when they were pioneering the punk scene with their fierce attitude and DIY ethos. From the moment the opening track kicks in, you can't help but be struck by the sheer energy and passion that the band bring to every song. Ari Up's vocals are a force to be reckoned with, cutting through the chaos with a mix of defiance and vulnerability that is truly captivating. The band's musicality shines through on tracks like "Shoplifting" and "So Tough," with the unmistakable reggae influence adding a unique twist to their punk sound. The guitar work is gritty and aggressive, perfectly complementing the driving rhythm section to create a sound that is both chaotic and coherent. "In the Beginning" is a vital piece of punk history, capturing a moment in time when The Slits were at the forefront of a musical revolution. If you're a fan of raw, unapologetic punk rock, this album is a must-listen. So grab your safety pin earrings and get ready to pogo, because The Slits are back and they're as fierce as ever.
