Joan’s message to us fans, at the inside of the The Runaways cover

GIRLS - Cherry Bomb

GIRLS were Japans first all girl rock band and were formed in 1977, and there was no secret they were very inspired by the Runaways, who were huge in Japan. Here they cover Cherry Bomb, with Japanese lyrics except from the choruses.

Review on The Runaways: Rock & Roll just had a minor revolution

Lita, Joan, Jackie, Sandy and Cherie are high-school minors. Together they form a rock ‘n’ roll band called the Runaways.
They sing good. They play good. They compose good. But what they do best of all is communicate what it’s like to be a teenager.
If you’re in your teen years (or can remember what your head was like back then) you’ll relate to their message.
Because it’s all happening to them right now.
