Recently rediscovered Birmingham art punk recorded in 1978-1982. An all-male combo, despite the name the Dangerous Girls, released their first single in 1979, Dangerous Girls/I Don't Want To Eat (With The Family) and started touring the UK offering use of the PA, lights and equipment to local bands who wish to play. Their second single, the Taaga EP released in the same year on the Happy Face label, reached number one in the last indie charts of the '70s. Reminiscent of early-era Gang Of Four, Minimum Joy, Slits, Wire, and all things post-punk or as John Peel himself defined them, "spasm rock". After a BBC session and a couple more singles, the Demolition Girls unfortunately broke up right while recording an album. This compilation is brought to life by the punk archivists at Rave Up Records and contains their full 1978-1982 production.
