  • Carl Fisher - VocalsNidge Miller - GuitarNeil McLennan (Mackie) - BassCharlie Howe - DrumsFormed in 1980 in New Mills, Blitz were No Future Records first signing. Their debut release, the %22All Out Attack E.P%22, was recorded very quickly, as were most singles on the label. The first pressing of 1000 copies was sold in a few days, mainly by mail order. A subsequent distribution deal with Rough Trade and Pinnacle led to sales of over 20,000 copies. Initial copies were all hand stamped as the label thought they would only sell 1000! Their debut album even hit the National charts! The band later became one of the most influential punk bands of all time with numerous late 90's Punk bands covering their songs.
dbo:abstract
  • Blitz was a street punk/Oi! band from New Mills, Derbyshire, England. They had success in the United Kingdom indie charts in the early 1980s. With both punk and skinhead members, they were enthusiastically championed by Sounds magazine writer Garry Bushell, though guitarist Nidge would later go on to denounce Bushell. Although considered an influential Oi! band, the band members simply described themselves as a punk band. They signed to the record label No Future in 1981, and their first release was the 7%22 EP All Out Attack. Several years after the original Blitz lineup split, guitarist Alan %22Nidge%22 Miller recruited new members and performed concerts under the Blitz moniker. On February 10, 2007, Miller was struck by a car and died on impact after walking onto a freeway after a show in Austin, Texas.
