"Viv Albertine made a place for girls in music before girl became grrrl" - Courtney Love

"Viv doesn't so much turn back time as stop the clock all together!" - Thurston Moore, Sonic Youth

"Turns every comfort and assumption you hold on its head" - Carrie Brownstein, Sleater Keaney

After twenty five years away from music, influential guitarist and songwriter, Viv Albertine, releases her first solo album 'The Vermilion Border' - out 5th November 2012 through Cadiz Music. The album features a renowned bass player on each track, and even reunites Viv with Mick Jones of The Clash, who plays guitar on 'Confessions of a MILF'.

Viv's former group, The Slits, were one of the first bands from the 'Punk' era to draw on - and tour with - different musical genres, and filter them through their music, especially reggae, improvised jazz and free improvisation. The band are considered to be the forerunners of 'post punk' and the riot grrrl movements and they - and Viv's guitar playing - have also been cited as an influence on many bands from Gang of Four, Sonic Youth, The Beastie Boys, Tricky and Massive Attack, to new bands such as Chapter 24 and Warpaint.
