various | skinless wonder: slampt city punk soul explosion

whether it's a coincidence or a direct response, newcastle label slampt rode somewhere close to the crest of the uk riot grrrl movement all the way from meldon terrace to my hot little hand in the rough trade shop in covent garden. their third release, this compilation captured the appeal of the label: raw, immediate, unpretentious, lo-fi, cheap as fuck fun.

while pete and rachel could cometimes be accused of taking these things far too seriously (check the first red monkey lp liner notes and photos for instance), at this early stage in the game they mixed the polemics with a highly infectious enthusiasm. and some tunes!

Hi.

I am interested to hear more about the first red monkey lp liner notes

I've been following the blog for a bit but never commented, so just thought I should show some love. Thanks for all the lo-fi
