I like this new reissue from Girlschool a lot. I’d say that it’s better than the other one I’ve also reviewed in this issue. That said, it’s not an easy call to make. They are both really good. Girlschool really have their own sound, but you can combine a couple things to get the idea of what it’s like without hearing them. Imagine taking the punkier side of The Runaways and blending that with the New Wave of British Heavy Metal. You’d be very close to the sound of the Girlschool. This album is at times extremely catchy. At other points it’s a bit raw. All in all, though, it’s great Girlschool rock and roll.

This review is available in book format (hardcover and paperback) in Music Street Journal: 2016  Volume 4 at lulu.com/strangesound.

There is weird little scene setting sound section at the start. From there, though, they launch into a great metal rock and roll jam. This is high energy, catchy and very cool.
