Who are we?
CLiNT TAURUS, Randilicious P. Rock III, Ginger Le Roque and Hieronymus 'Hairy' Busch“
Slash Bikini make out like they're frustrated and horny Japanese school girls waking up together on Christmas day with pop songs stuffed in their stockings. Advocating baby-making, death by mobile phones, and eating snickers bars at inappropriate moments, their songs are full to the brim, unashamed, in your face !POP! goes the weasel. Ace! Just cover me in chocolate and throw me to these kinky punk lesbians. WOOHOO!†Fibbers, York, 2005

The Slash Bikini philosophy
We’re not Hi-Fi and we’re not Lo-Fi. We are D-I-Y! In the world of Slash Bikini, ‘punk’ means ‘do it yourself’. We won’t wait around for someone to come and give us a million quid, or a record deal, or a nice piece of fish. If we can’t afford something we need, we’ll make, borrow or steal it. We released our own album; before that we made our own EP, which sold out. We wrote, recorded, engineered and mixed it. In fact we built the studio to record it in. Heck, we even built some of the microphones and amplifiers ourselves. Before punk was a marketing genre for major labels to push crappy American bands, punk people used to release their own records: DIY is Punk.
Type of Label: Indie
