Girlschool are a British rock band that formed in the new wave of British heavy metalscene in 1978. Frequently associated with contemporaries Motörhead, they are the longest-running all-female rock band, still active after more than 40 years. Formed from a school band called Painted Lady, Girlschool enjoyed strong media exposure and commercial success in the UK in the early 1980s with three albums of “punk-tinged metal” and a few singles, but lost their momentum in the following years.
Demolition is the first studio album by the British heavy metal band, Girlschool. It was released in Europe on Bronze Records in 1980.
It was produced by experienced sound engineer Vic Maile. Demolition reached No. 28 in the UK Albums Chart, following the rising of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal phenomenon. The tour supporting the album included high-profile support slots to Black Sabbath and Uriah Heep shows.
“Race with the Devil” is a cover of the song originally performed by the British rock band The Gun.
