Blitz

Anyone who cares will tell you a good Oi! song is all about sharp guitar blasts that send hot-tipped pins and needles flying; call-to-arms vocals that have enough grit and grime in their throat to match the music; and a battalion of chants shouted in measured, metronomic precision. Blitz were one of the few bands to hit every nail squarely on the head, and with a few notable exceptions, every song they ever stomped through bore their distinct footprints and showed the stuff of which real Oi! was made. They threw in the towel before taking the Metal road so many other Oi! acts hitchhiked their way down. Despite persistent rumors of a tour (really, folks. Let it go), there'll be no more battle cries from one of Oi!'s best, but the slew of hits they left behind should be enough to fill the plate of even the hungriest Oi! seeker.
