Girls At Our Best kom fra Leeds og h\u00f8rte man dem dengang var det nok mest fordi John Peel gav dem k\u00e6rlighed og spilletid p\u00e5 sit BBC-show. For udbredte blev de aldrig, udsendte kun en lille h\u00e5ndfuld indielabel-singler, samt et enkelt album kaldet <em>Pleasure<\/em> (1981). Lyden var behersket krads med guitarer der sm\u00e5st\u00f8jede et sted imellem Buzzcocks og tidlig Banshees, men Judy Evans&#8217;s rene stemme, samt de klare melodier gav Girls At Our Best en s\u00e6r traditionel pop-kvalitet, der pegede i en s\u00e6regen retning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Deres catchy debutsingle &#8216;Nowhere Fast&#8217; er den jeg huskede bedst og som kan h\u00f8res herover. B-siden &#8216;Warm Girls&#8217; (herunder) er nu ogs\u00e5 en keeper, en fire-minutters postpunk-minisymfoni af s\u00e6regne opbyggende\/forl\u00f8sende forl\u00f8b, der flettes forunderligt ind og ud af hinanden. En YouTube-bruger har lavet en fantastisk video til med l\u00e5nte billeder fra den japanske 1969-film \u8594\u8587\u306e\u846c\u5217 (Funeral Parade of Roses). L\u00e6g lige m\u00e6rke til detaljen, hvor ubesv\u00e6ret single-coveret p\u00e5 \u00f8verste klip korresponderer med still-billedet fra videoens film p\u00e5 det nederste. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kendte The Smiths&#8217; Morrissey s\u00e5 til Girls At Our Best og deres &#8216;Getting Nowhere Fast&#8217; da han lavede en sang til <em>Meat is Murder<\/em> (1985) med titlen &#8216;Nowhere Fast&#8217;? Naturligvis gjorde han det; b\u00e5de han og Johnny Marr kunne deres postpunk til fingerspidserne i 1985. Men i\u00f8vrigt&#8230;stod der ikke allerede &#8216;NOWHERE FAST&#8217; i forruden p\u00e5 den bus, der k\u00f8rte Sex Pistols og de andre bandlyste punkbands rundt p\u00e5 den sk\u00e6bnesvangre Anarchy Tour i december 1976?! Det hele h\u00e6nger vist sammen. Men nu var det b-siden &#8216;Wild Girls&#8217; vi kom til&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><iframe title=\"Girls At Our Best - Warm Girls\" width=\"474\" height=\"267\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/650Mag3CmP8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>  <\/p>\n<div class=\"fcbkbttn_buttons_block\" id=\"fcbkbttn_middle\"><div class=\"fcbkbttn_like \"><fb:like href=\"http:\/\/www.jensunmack.dk\/wordpress-3\/nowhere-fast-2\/\" action=\"like\" colorscheme=\"dark\" layout=\"standard\"  width=\"225px\" size=\"small\"><\/fb:like><\/div><div class=\"fb-share-button  \" data-href=\"http:\/\/www.jensunmack.dk\/wordpress-3\/nowhere-fast-2\/\" data-type=\"button_count\" data-size=\"small\"><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Denne britiske postpunk-single fra 1980 har v\u00e6ret i min bevidsthed i noget tid, mandag l\u00f8b jeg ved et tilf\u00e6lde endelig ind i et eksemplar af den.
