History
Blitz played Oi! at its most melodic: shouted terrace choruses over guitars that knew their way around a hook, with a singer who sounded more like a football crowd than a frontman. The band came out of New Mills, a small town on the edge of the Peak District, which set them apart from the London acts that dominated the scene. Their 1981 EP All Out Attack became one of the most sought-after records of the early Oi! wave, and songs like Someone's Gonna Die and Warriors were sung back at gigs by skinheads and punks alike. The 1982 album Voice of a Generation is the record they are remembered for: short, loud, tuneful and built for singing along, it caught the northern working-class mood of the period. Then came a sharp turn. Second Empire Justice, released in 1983, swapped the terrace sound for synthesizers and a moody new wave style that owed more to post-punk than to street punk, and much of the original audience walked away. Listeners know Blitz by that split: one near-perfect Oi! album followed by a bold, divisive change of direction.
