You Slut! was an Englishmath rock band that formed some time in .
Their first release was in : an EP by the name of
“Grit Eyed & Greasy Tailed”, which appears to only have been
released digitally as a set of MP3s. Later , they released their first full-length and perhaps their most well-known
album, “Critical Meat”, featuring re-recordings of half of the
songs on “Grit Eyed & Greasy Tailed”. Their other major release
was another full-length, released in , by the name of
“Medium Bastard”. Guitarist Richard Collins
has also played drums for
Derbyindie rock outfit
Mascot Fight since , and bass guitarist Sam Lloyd now plays for
Nottinghampsychedelic rock outfit Church of the Cosmic Skull.
The music of You Slut! is entirely instrumental, and portrays a kind of
raucous “party math” aesthetic; cf.noumenon or even
Belfastpost-rockers And So I Watch You From Afar. The band themselves claim
Baltimoremath rock outfit Oxes as an influence, and this is clear in their music, with
the focus on meaty guitar riffs — but You Slut! take less of a cue
from noise rock and more of a cue from post-rock, although their goofball sense of humor is
something that they share with Oxes. “Critical Meat” is a
must-know for all fans of math rock.
