In 1986, having already produced at least 75 hardore porn films, it emerged that Traci Lords was in fact a minor. Having lied about her age using a fake ID, she’d actually started making porn at 15, causing a crisis in the industry and forcing video stores and adult theatres to withdraw her hugely popular films at risk of prosecution. She ended her porn career after these events, instead following the route that many former pornstars take in making the transition to mainstream roles. In the intervening years, she appeared in films like Cry-Baby and modelled for Thierry Mugler, and she lent her voice to alt-rock songs like Love Never Dies (a minor hit from the Pet Sematary Two soundtrack) and the Manic Street Preachers track Little Baby Nothing. But when debut album 1000 Fires came out in 1995 it was a huge left turn, seeing her merge hard rock, breakbeat rave, acid techno and trance while making a successful foray into the DJ world. The album spawned a legitimate hit in the bonkers Control, which saw she adopt a dominatrix persona and deliver semi-spoken vocals in a way that wasn’t too dissimilar to the electroclash movement a few years later (its video also boasted a cameo from John Waters). The rest of the album is a riot sonically but it deals with dark lyrical themes, addressing her rape and thoughts of suicide.

She sang one of Samantha Bentley’s favourite songs of all time with one of her favourite bands of all time Manic Street Preachers. The MSP track Little Baby Nothing is essentially about a young, insecure, pretty girl used like a toy, for mens pleasure. The lyrics are both dark and beautiful. Samantha Bentley particularly loves the line ‘You are pure, you are snow. We are the useless sluts that they mould’.
