Race With The Devil: 1980

GIRLSCHOOL: 'Race With The Devil' (Bronze)

Excelsior coverage of dimly-remembered-classic-by-The-Gun situation. A Charles Atlas size intro is topped by that oh so familiar guitar hook which sucks you into the bull-dozing body of the song. Powerful and definitely air playable though it's a shame it sounds the same all the way through.

(Garry Bushell, Sounds, 19/07/80)

GIRLSCHOOL: 'Yeah Right' (Bronze)

Now that we've got the turkeys out of the way we can get back to the real world. This is a burning little rocker from those highly respected metal femmes, very commercial, very tough and boasts a bruising barrage of guitar. These girls can deliver.

(Steve Keaton)
