GIRLSCHOOL Announce Release Of New Studio Album “๐๐๐ ๐จ๐ซ๐ญ๐ฒ๐๐ข๐ฏ๐?” – New Single “๐๐ซ๐ ๐๐จ๐ฎ ๐๐๐๐๐ฒ?” OUT NOW
FORTY-FIVE years young, British hard rock royaltyย Girlschoolย come out swinging with their 14th studio albumย WTFortyfive?, a deliciously dirty declaration that age is a number that shows how much real raw attitude you have when it really counts.ย WTFortyfive?ย is set for release on July 28th via Silver Lining Music.
Lead single โAre You Ready?โ sets the pace; a racy, raunchy, fun-saturated shape-shifter co-written with Alcatrazzโs Joe Stump that shows Girlschoolโs leathers may still carry the well-baked battle scars of decades gone by, but their songs and attitude are as fresh, fun, heavy and catchy as ever before.
โThe first new Girlschool music in nearly a decade! Powerful, heavy and with a great groove, this is the first single from our WTFortyfive? album! We think youโll like it… Are You Ready? We are!” – Girlschool
As a nod to their fellow partners in crime,ย Girlschoolย release today the animated video for โAre You Ready?โ, the video sequel toย Alcatrazzโs โDonโt Get Madโฆ Get Even (feat. Girlschool)โ taken from the upcomingย Alcatrazzโs albumย Take No Prisonersย (set for release May 19thย via Silver Lining Music).
With WTFortyfive?, Kim McAuliffe (guitar/vocals), Denise Dufort (drums), Jackie Chambers (guitar/backing vocals) and Tracey Lamb (bass) leave the grit under their finger nails and the scuzz on their crusty leather boots as they riff and stomp their way through 12 statements of intent showing major attitude, some great melodies, and a consistent crunch to every guitar.
Thereโs the addictive mototรถrcharged scuzz of โIt Is What It Isโ, the Wandsworth via Sunset Strip sway of “
โBump In The Nightโ, the youthful, punky romp of โUp To No Goodโ and the smart, sassy, rock โnโ roll hooks of โBelieving In Youโ, with McAuliffeโs vocals sounding as sharp and raucous as ever. And if THAT isnโt enough, their raunch roars and rolls alongside Biff Byford (Saxon), Phil Campbell (Motรถrhead), and Duff McKagan (Guns Nโ Roses) on a cracking cover of โBorn To Raise Hellโ! So throw away your inhibitions and join these spectacularly wild women on the most glorious of rock โnโ roll rides. Lemmy knew, so should YOU!
WTFortyfive? will be released on 12โ Vinyl, CD Digipak, Digital Download and Streaming and Special D2C bundles. Pre-order from April 25th at this location
