the schoolgirls have been upstaging headline acts for around four years now. our fanbase is tiny but fiercely loyal. many a drunken fool has heckled the schoolgirls, but it only out of fear of the unknown. many people have been confused, unable to believe that what they are seeing on the stage on front of them is actually happening. the schoolgirls blend high-speed energon-driven guitar music with free-form energon-driven synthesizer music, the result of which is known as the schoolgirls.
