EP Review: Blitz "All Out Attack" (No Future Records) by Devin J. Meaney

Band: Blitz
Location: Derbyshire
Country: UK
Genre: Punk, hardcore, Oi
EP: All Out Attack
Format: 7” vinyl
Label: No Future Records
Release date: 1981
I found an old-school punk EP originally released in 1981. “All Out Attack” by Blitz is a smorgasbord of simplistic punk riffs, grainy production, a tinny drum sound and up-beat antics. Obviously by this I mean that the EP is pretty great!
Featuring 4 short songs in under 8 minutes you might need to listen a few times for this to really sink in. Same vein as Ramones or bands like The Sex Pistols or The Clash—yet the production (as I mentioned already) is much grainier and the vocals are of a much “dirtier” variety.
This was uploaded by a small-time YouTube account “Angelo T”—so I don’t know much about this band as there is not much of a bio. I do imagine with the power of modernized internet one could find out more about this band if they wished to do so—but I am just happy to rock this EP a few times (for now) and I’d suggest you do the same if you value true “original” punk-rock sound.
