BLITZ (BAND)


'Blitz' was a punk/Oi! band from New Mills, Derbyshire, England.
They had success in the United Kingdom indie charts in the early 1980s.
Comprised of both punk and skinhead members, they were enthusiastically championed by ''Sounds'' magazine writer Garry Bushell. Their song "Someone's Gonna Die" was covered by Rancid on the ''Radio Radio Radio'' EP. Another Blitz song, "Warriors", was covered by The Distillers and Judge. Decades after the original Blitz lineup split, guitarist/songwriter Alan "Nidge" Miller recruited new members and performed concerts under the band's name. On February 10, 2007, Miller was struck by a car after running into the freeway while intoxicated in Austin, Texas.[1]. He died on impact.
