The Profile

English all-female heavy metal band formed in the late 1970s, associated with the NWOBHM movement and known for the debut 'Demolition' and for collaborations with Motörhead.

One of the first all-female heavy metal groups; initially called Painted Lady. Collaborated with Motörhead on the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre release. Guitarist Kelly Johnson died on July 15, 2007.

Two DeBaser reviews celebrate Girlschool's debut 'Demolition' as a crisp, energetic example of early English heavy metal. Both reviewers highlight the band's connection with Motörhead and the record's driving rock'n'roll sound. 'Demolition' and tracks like 'Race With The Devil' are repeatedly recommended as classics.
