Girls At Our Best! were a band from Leeds and active from 1979 until 1982 and they surfed very well on the same new wave that made others famous. I don't know why they split but for me they were a band from this genre that were able to write great songs that hit the nerve of the times. I have to admit that I seldom listened to them during the last years but the re-release of their fantastic debut album Pleasure brought them back to my memory. Their sound was a mixture of The Banshees and Buzzcocks guitar with a massive touch of melodies with chart potential. In 1981 they played a session for John Peel where China Blue and Sister Rosetta Stone's This Train are from.

couldn't agree more, always a breath of fresh air
Always loved "Going Nowhere Fast". The Wedding Present did a decent cover but you can't improve on the original
Agree with everything you say! I picked up a copy of a re-release of 'Pleasure' a couple of years back - it came with all sorts of extras such as postcards, photos and tour posters. It's a thing of beauty.
