• Slit Down

Departed members of the band have gone on to perform in other successful groups such as the Raincoats and Siouxsie and the Banshees. Musical hair-splitters will often point out that the Slits weren't technically good musicians, citing the fact that Mick Jones had to tune their guitars for them while on tour. But anyone who'd crucify a punk band over lack of technical know-how should consider relaxing the ol' sphincter. Up refers to the cast of special guest stars as "all generations of Slits people."
