Bio:

Girlschool are a British hard Rock/heavy metal band originating out of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal scene in 1978 and frequently associated with contemporaries Motörhead. They are the longest running all-female rock band, still active after more than 35 years.Formed from a school band called Painted Lady, Girlschool enjoyed strong media exposure and commercial success in the UK in the early 1980s with three albums of 'punk-tinged metal'and a few singles, but rapidly lost their momentum in the following years.In the 1990s and 2000s, they concentrated their efforts on live shows and tours, reducing considerably the production of studio albums. During their long career, Girlschool travelled all over the world, playing in many rock and metal festivals and co-headlining with or supporting some of the most important hard rock and heavy metal bands. They maintain a worldwide cult following and are considered an inspiration for many succeeding female rock musicians.Despite frequent changes of line-up, original members Kim McAuliffe, Enid Williams and Denise Dufort are still in the band to this day. The only original member no longer in the band, lead guitarist and singer Kelly Johnson, died of cancer in 2007.

Album:

At the very end of last year there was a silent release that needs to be promoted: the reissue, first time on CD of GIRLSCHOOL's fifth album "Running Wild".Criminally underrated at its time (1985), this great record has been remastered from the original tapes and released by prestigious British label Cherry Red / Hear No Evil.Running Wild is the fifth studio album by the British heavy metal band Girlschool, released on Mercury Records in 1985.It is the only studio work released as a five-piece group by Girlschool, after original lead guitarist Kelly Johnson had left the band. Vocals duties on the album are shared by Jackie Bodimead and Kim McAuliffe.Running Wild was released only in America. It was produced by Nick Tauber, previously known for his work with Thin Lizzy, Marillion, and Toyah."Do You Love Me?" is a cover of the song from Kiss' album Destroyer (1976).American major label Mercury Records released their 4th disc, who also picked up the option for their fifth. But these were troubled times for Girlschool and original guitarist / singer Kelly Johnson left the band.So founder members Kim McAulliffe (guitar, vocals) and Denise Dufort (drums) recruited not one but two new girls as replacement: both ex-She Cris Bonacci (guitar) and extraordinary vocalist Jackie Bodimead.Produced by Nick Tauber (Marillion, Thin Lizzy) at Air, Battery and The Manor studios between December 1984 and January 1985, "Running Wild" was the only studio work released by Girlschool as a five-piece group.And those wasn't the only changes: if you never liked the aggressive metal style from Girlschool, you better listen to "Running Wild".Only released in America on vinyl / cassette (never CD) "Running Wild" is a completely different beast, very much a keyboard driven album aimed at US radio according to the era.Crafted as the British answer to Heart and Lita Ford, "Running Wild" is a pure female fronted Melodic Hard Rock delight.Catchy, hook laden cuts like "Nowhere to Run", "Let me Go", "Nasty Nasty" or title track "Running Wild" (check out the video, pure '80s!) are a must for every fan of the genre. The album also feature a cover version of Kiss’ glam anthem "Do You Love Me?" done in very sensual shape.And we have Jackie Bodimead... one of the greatest - and underrated - female Melodic Hard Rock vocalists ever. Her pipes are unique, with the right amount of raspiness balanced by melody and potent harmonies to die for."Running Wild" is a brilliant Melodic Hard Rock album with AOR touches, criminally overlooked at its time. Mercury Records (with his Rock department concentrated in Bon Jovi) never promoted the record, only released it in the USA and even deny the possibility to be pressed on CD.So "Running Wild" was almost totally ignored by the buying public. If Mercury would have put a little time and effort into promoting this album, it could have easily gone Platinum. Just imagine Girlschool touring with Heart...This remaster is a real treat, crisp and balanced. Also included is a nice booklet featuring rare photos and extensive liner notes from Classic Rock and Metal Hammer’s Malcolm Dome based on new interviews with the band.As said, if your melodic ears always avoided Girlschool's early gritty style, you better grab this one. Also, don't be scared by the horrible artwork, the music packed inside is a dazzling slice of Melodic Hard Rock.
