Our Take

Girls at Our Best! burst onto the post-punk scene like a glitter bomb exploding in a dark club back in the early 80s. Their debut album, "Pleasure", has been reissued in a deluxe edition, giving us all a chance to relive the sheer joy and infectious energy of this band.

From the opening track "Getting Nowhere Fast", Girls at Our Best! set the tone for a wild ride of angular guitars, catchy hooks, and powerhouse vocals. Lead singer Judy Evans' distinctive voice cuts through the mix like a knife, delivering biting lyrics with unapologetic attitude.

Tracks like "Politics!", "Fast Boyfriends", and "Goodbye to That Jazz" showcase the band's ability to blend punk energy with pop sensibilities, creating a sound that is both rebellious and danceable. The deluxe edition includes bonus tracks and live recordings, giving listeners a deeper insight into the band's creative process and live performance.

Girls at Our Best! may have been underrated in their time, but this reissue proves that their music is timeless. "Pleasure" is a masterpiece of post-punk brilliance, and a must-listen for anyone looking to inject some fun and energy into their music collection. Girls at Our Best! may be from the past, but their music feels just as vital and exciting today.
