Info:
GIRLSCHOOL were a sadly overlooked heavy metal band made up of (guess
what!) girls! But despite what you might think of a band with girls
playing their instruments, GIRLSCHOOL played with such an intensity and a
knack for hooky, catchy songs that some of their male counterparts
twisted in shame. Despite being spawned during the NEW WAVE OF BRITISH
HEAVY METAL's peak, GIRLSCHOOL's sound owed much to fellow punks like
DISCHARGE and GBH and of course, MOTORHEAD, with whom they made a
friendship that lasts even to this date. The guitar sounds are decidedly
brutal, making any of DEF LEPPARD's records of the time (1980-1983)
sound positively tame in comparison. HIT AND RUN is GIRLSCHOOL at its
most intense, heaviest and fastest, yet the songs were really memorable
and had this had a more "subtle" production it would have been an
international hit.
