BLITZKRIEG facebook.com/blitzkriegpunks

Blitzkrieg are an English punk rock band, based in Southport and formed in 1979.[1] They made a distinct contribution to the UK hardcore punk scene and have strong underground following. Despite the Nazi connotations of the name Blitzkrieg, German for "Lightning-War", they take a fiercely anti-Nazi stance.

The original line-up was formed by Mike 'Riffone' on vocals together with his brother Phil 'Din' on drums in 1979, initially with Will Mawdsley on guitar and Gary 'Gaz' Sumner on bass. Tony "Toe" Fowler joined on bass, while Gaz Sumner switched over to guitar. Later when Toe Fowler left, he was replaced with Chris Hind on bass, previously of the local Southport band Mayhem.

This formed the definitive line-up of Mike Riffone (vocals), Phil Din (drums), Gaz Sumner (guitar) and Chris Hind (bass). This line-up was signed to the independent record label No Future Records and released the track "The Future Must Be Ours", which appeared on the A Country Fit For Heroes compilation album, released in January 1982, Catalogue number Oi3, reaching No. 4 in the UK Indie Charts. Shortly after the release of this track, Phil Din left the band and was for a brief period replaced by 'Jackanory' John McCallum on drums.

Blitzkrieg played a vast number of gigs, primarily in the North of England, both as headliners and as a support act to bands including UK Decay, Chron Gen, The Not Sensibles and Anti-Pasti.
Their second vinyl release, a four-track EP on No Future Records, entitled Lest We Forget, Catalogue number Oi8, reached No. 11 in the Indie Charts in 1982. Later in the same year, the band parted company with drummer McCallum and their record label, signing to Sexual Phonograph Records, who released their Animals in Lipstick EP.

New drummer Dave "Bambi" Ellesmere, previously of the seminal punk/speed-metal group Discharge, joined the group in mid-1982. The Animals in Lipstick EP featured an aggressively anti-vivisection theme, and their most popular recorded song to date, "Conscience Prayer", an anti-society polemic, it reached No. 30 in the Indie Chart in 1983.

Since the break-up of the group soon after the "Conscience Prayer" release in 1983, there have since been a number of re-formations of the group, initially in late 1987 with new vocalist Spike, Gaz, Bambi & ex-Insane bassist Trev. Dave left to join Flux of Pink Indians, and has latterly enjoyed success as a Techno House DJ.

Riffone went to Blackburn and joined "Rabid Dogs" which included Gus "Popegustav" Gouldsbrough in the line-up, who later joined Blitzkrieg.

Blitzkrieg re-formed for the Rebellion 2007 festival at Blackpool. The new line-up was Chris Hind (original member) bass and vocals, Jax Chambers (Girlschool) lead guitar and vocals, and Tom Tom (Poor Kids with Guns) drums. A new album, Everything is Lies was released July 2008 and they played Rebellion 2008.

The line up then changed again to Chris Hind (founder member of Blitzkrieg/ ex Mayhem), Jax Chambers (Girlschool/Syteria), Gaz Johnson (ex The Nags), and Gus Goulsborough (Popegustav).

A 4 Track EP "Fear and Control" was recorded in 2011 at Riverstudios in Belgium and released on a limited edition for sale at UK and European shows.

In 2019 the band released the album Blind Faith which featured guest vocalist Jeff Janiak of punk legends Discharge on the track "Conspiracy".

During 2020 and 2021 the band recorded the album War Machine. because of covid restrictions, there were no rehearsals, and most tracks were recorded remotely, in Southport and Belgium. Drums by Tom Dring (Who recorded the Blind Faith album) Bass and Vocals Chris hind, and guitar backing vocals by Popegustav. as ever there is a guest artist, this time John Cooke from Napalm Death, featuring on the track Taking back Control A reworked version of New World Order written by Jax Chambers, is also on the album.

In July 2022 the band added a new member, guitarist Steve"Fish"Brookes taking them back to a 4-piece, a new EP and album is presently being recorded for release 2023. Corporate Evil EP was released 2023 on Ltd edition.
