A Girlschool For Headbangers!
Chris Salewicz, Creem, July 1982
IN A REHEARSAL room on the southwest London suburb of Putney, Girlschool lead guitar players Kelly Johnson and rhythm guitarist Kim McAuliffe are swigging from bottles of German beer during a break in their efforts to write a number of new songs for their third LP, a record they are sporadically making, with the assistance of former Police co-producer Nigel Gray.
