The evening is going to be long and I still have to write a lot of emails, but before I do that a little contribution to a rare 7Inch from a band that nobody knows anyway. That means it belongs exactly in this theater. Girl Guided Missiles was a short-lived four piece from Redditch and consisted of Martin & Steve (vocals/guitars), Adrian (bass), Nick (drums) and this is their only record via Seandee Records. 1000 copies of this goodie were pressed, most of them were sold locally and at gigs. It's extremely hard to find and sought-after nowdays but is unreservedly recommended, was re-released in 2021 by Breakout Records so that they wouldn't be forgotten, good idea. A review: This is a reissue of the Girl Guided Missiles’ only record, originally released in 1979. They have a catchy, amateurish sound that will be familiar to fans of late ’70s Post-Punk bands from the north of England. The songs are longer than most bands of the era, but they never lose steam. They keep on rockin’ out to the end. Two great songs. A great reissue. (Carolyn Keddy, MRR #457 • June 2021) There is nothing to add, a slightly different sound from the British Punk island.
