Girlschool
Girlschool were one of the first all-girl rock acts to make a mark
in the mostly male-dominated NWOBHM
(New Wave Of British Heavy Metal). The band's first two albums
have gone on to become classics.
Having signed with Bronze, their now-classic debut album Demolition
surfaced in 1980. Stand-out tracks included a blistering cover
of Gun's Race With The Devil that just made it into
the Top 50. Nothing To Lose, Emergency and Demolition
Boys all showed the girls rocking out with finesse and ballsy
attitude.
By the time Hit and Run appeared in 1981, their
reputation had already been cemented. Though not as strong as
their debut, the album still oozed with with the same raw energy
and aggressive attitude that showed the girls could still take the
boys on at their own game and succeed.
Earlier in the year, the band released the very successful St
Valentine's Day Massacre EP (with Motörhead).
