GIRLSCHOOL are a British rock band that formed in the new wave of British heavy metal scene in 1978, frequently associated with contemporaries Motörhead. They are the longest-running all-female rock band, still active after almost 40 years.

They maintain a worldwide cult following and are an inspiration for many female rock musicians. 3 original members, Kim McAuliffe, Enid Williams and Denise Dufort—are still in the band, with long time axe wielder Jackie Chambers on guitar.

Joining them on their triumphant return, VENOM INC. Formed as Venom in 1979 in Newcastle upon Tyne, England. And coming to prominence towards the end of the new wave of British heavy metal, Venom’s first two albums—Welcome to Hell (1981) and Black Metal (1982)—are considered a major influence on thrash metal and extreme metal in general. During the 80’s, Venom were THE extreme band, releasing more classic albums such as At War With Satan, Possessed

Last but not least for the first time ever in Australia RAVEN. RAVEN are that rare thing in music true originals – cut these guys with a razor and they will BLEED true heavy metal.

Hailing from Newcastle Upon Tyne in North East England back in 1974 the brothers Gallagher cut their teeth playing the pubs & clubs until solidifying their line up in 1980 with drummer Rob Hunter. The trio went on to release three of the most influential metal albums of the NWOBHM. Basically, without RAVEN you just might not have had thrash/speed metal.
