The Blitters

The Blitters is actually the creation of a Mr Allen E Zuk, yet another Canadian forced away from his homeland due to the dire lack of a creative industry, and possibly because he owes money on a student loan. You can put the phone down – the government lawyers have already found him (the crafty buggers) and are now continuing their furious quest to dismantle his life. His musical history is below, if you care.

Stafford Glover is the newest member of the Blitters – he plays bass, makes noise, and specialises in ignoring the audience. Born in Australia, he is also a filthy foreigner, though his severe abnormalities in musical taste could be blamed on a childhood misspent on Mersea 'Island'. Though he plans to misspend his later years making mud angels outside the pub on Craggy Island. At least that's a real feckin island.

Punishing, hyper-fast beats; piercing, overdriven, cheap synths; random MIDI sequences; senseless rants; frequencies that can only be heard by diseased animals; unlistenable, nausea-inducing noise. The reckless spirit of '60s garage rock, the snooty experimentation of '70s punk, and the absolute worst of '80s electro. Some points of reference would be Big Black, Suicide, Sigue Sigue Sputnik, The Forbidden Dimension, Helen Love, Chicks on Speed, Atari Teenage Riot, and Peaches.
