WTFortyfive?

Description

The young, British hard rock Girlschool of 45 years release 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 counts. Kim Mcauliffe (guitar-vocals), Denise Dufort (drums), Jackie Chambers (guitar - backing vocals) and Tracey Lamb (bass) leave the grit under their nails and the mud on their leather boots as they riff and crush everything in their path through 12 statements of intent showing 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 sunset swing of "Bump In The Night", the youthful punk energy 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 unique title track "Are You Ready?" sets the pace, a sleek, sizzling, 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, fun, thunderous, and catchy as ever. And if that's not enough, their sizzling howls alongside Biff Byford (Saxon), Phil Campbell (Motörhead), and Duff McKagan (Guns N' Roses) on a stunning cover of "Born To Raise Hell"! So throw your inhibitions aside and join these spectacularly wild women on the most glorious rock 'n' roll ride. Lemmy knew it, and so should you!
