Never Mind The Bollocks, Here's … Girlschool
Phil Sutcliffe, Sounds, November 1979
I MET GIRLSCHOOL in a pub called the Leather Bottle, which was appropriate because leather is what they wear and bottle is what they've got a lot of. They are one those bands who can turn your ideas upside down and kick your preconceptions where it hurts. It's a good shock though. Plug in at your first opportunity.
