I just heard this beauty on Indie 103.1 (LA’s “independent” radio station – the reason for the quotes is another post for another time), and I had to share it immediately. It was first released on the band’s debut, Cut, and I wasn’t expecting anyone to cover “Grapevine” quite this way. The Slits were one of the most significant female punk bands from the late ’70s / early ’80s, but this track is more new wave, featuring some great singing by frontwoman Ari Up.
Listen to the entire song here.
