Still sounding fresh today, ‘So Tough’ appeared on ‘Cut’ and has funk in spades. The rest of the world is still catching up with stuff like this, in spite of it being almost fifty years old. And if there is one group which was ahead of the curve at this time it was The Slits. No other quartet playing at that time made light of such a wide range of influences and, in the process, managed to fuse them into something unique. The Pop Group would not have existed without them, nor the next generation of DIY beat combos. Their influence runs deep and they aren’t lauded enough.
