WTFORTYFIVE?

Description

The young British hard rock band Girlschool, now 45 years old, releases their 14th studio album 'WTFortyfive?', a delightfully dirty statement that age is just a number showing the true raw attitude you have when it really matters. Kim McAuliffe (guitar-vocals), Denise Dufort (drums), Jackie Chambers (guitar - backing vocals), and Tracey Lamb (bass) leave the grit under their nails and the muck on their leather boots as they riff and crush everything in their path through 12 statements of intent showcasing a major attitude, some great melodies, and a constant thrill on every guitar. There's the addictive Motörhead-style "It Is What It Is," the magical swing of "Bump In The Night," the youthful punk outburst of "Up To No Good," and the smart, cheeky rock 'n' roll chorus of "Believing In You," with McAuliffe's voice sounding as sharp and raspy as ever. The standout track "Are You Rready?" sets the pace, a sleek, torrid, and fun shape-shifter co-written with Joe Stump of Alcatrazz, showing that Girlschool's leathers can still bear the scars of tough battles decades later, but their songs and attitude are as fresh and fun, thunderous and catchy as ever. And if that’s not enough, their fiery screams alongside Biff Byford (Saxon), Phil Campbell (Motörhead), and Duff McKagan (Guns N' Roses) on a stunning cover of "Born To Raise Hell"! So throw off your inhibitions and join these spectacularly wild women on the most glorious rock 'n' roll journey. Lemmy knew it, and you should too!
