Forty-five years young, British hard rock royalty GIRLSCHOOL comes out swinging with their fourteenth studio album, WTFortyfive?, a deliciously dirty declaration that age is a number that shows how much real raw attitude you have when it really counts. WTFortyfive? is set for release on July 28th via Silver Lining Music.
Lead single âAre You Ready?â sets the pace; a racy, raunchy, fun-saturated shapeshifter co-written with Alcatrazzâs Joe Stump that shows GIRLSCHOOLâs leathers may still carry the well-baked battle scars of decades past, but their songs and attitude are as fresh, fun, heavy, and catchy as ever before.
As a nod to their fellow partners in crime, GIRLSCHOOL today reveals the animated video for âAre You Ready?,â the video sequel to Alcatrazzâs âDonât Get Mad⦠Get Even (feat. GIRLSCHOOL)â taken from the upcoming Alcatrazz album Take No Prisoners (set for release May 19th via Silver Lining Music). Both videos were created by Natalia Jonderko Åmiechowicz.
Comments the band, âThe first new GIRLSCHOOL music in nearly a decade! Powerful, heavy and with a great groove, this is the first single from our WTFortyfive? album! We think youâll like it… Are you ready? We are!”
Watch GIRLSCHOOLâs âAre You Ready? (feat. Joe Stump)â HERE.

With WTFortyfive?, Kim McAuliffe (guitar/vocals), Denise Dufort (drums), Jackie Chambers (guitar/backing vocals), and Tracey Lamb (bass) leave the grit under their finger nails and the muck on their crusty leather boots as they riff and stomp their way through twelve statements of intent showing major attitude, some great melodies, and a consistent crunch to every guitar.
Thereâs the addictive mototörcharged scuzz of âIt Is What It Isâ, the Wandsworth via Sunset Strip sway of âBump In The Night,â the youthful, punky romp of âUp To No Good,â and the smart, sassy, rock ânâ roll hooks of âBelieving In You,â with McAuliffeâs vocals sounding as sharp and raucous as ever. And if that isnât enough, their raunch roars and rolls alongside Biff Byford (Saxon), Phil Campbell (Motörhead), and Duff McKagan (Guns Nâ Roses) on a cracking cover of âBorn To Raise Hell!â So throw away your inhibitions and join these spectacularly wild women on the most glorious of rock ânâ roll rides. Lemmy knew, so should YOU!
WTFortyfive? will be released on 12â vinyl, digipak-CD, digital download and streaming and special D2C bundles. Preorder yours today at THIS LOCATION.
