A local club band that broke through with a self-titled debut and the song "Girlschool."
For the full picture, listen to the debut's "Girlschool" and then something like "Sweet Hitch-Hiker." That's their lane.
They were part of that late-80s wave of hard rock that thrived on MTV and rock radio, right before the scene shifted. Their debut album cracked the Billboard Top 40, and songs like "Sweet Hitch-Hiker" and "She's So Lonely" are pure period pieces, big hair, bigger riffs, and a specific kind of party energy. They're a solid example of what a regional band could achieve with the right sound at that moment.
They formed in Philadelphia around 1985, playing local clubs before their self-titled 1988 debut. Their second album, "Boys in Heat," didn't match that success, and the band went through lineup changes afterward.
