A further single, “No Time To Be 21,” also entered the charts, and the band spent the rest of the year playing live, including major tours with The Damned and Iggy Pop.The album that followed in early 1978, "Crossing the Red Sea with the Adverts," is still considered a genuine classic of the era and is often cited as one of the twenty best punk albums ever released.Support will come in the form of an acoustic set by Pete Bentham & The Dinner Ladies.

£6 adv (+fees) | £8 on the doorAy-oh, let's go!!! 80s punk legends Blitzkrieg have announced a headline show at the Late Lounge in Rhyl on Saturday, October 10.They'll be supported on the night by Wrexham skate punk heroes Stuntface band Liverpudlian psych-punks MRI.BLITZKRIEG (Facebook Page)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.It has been well received, named Old School Punk album of the year by Vive le Rock magazine. 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.Steve Brookes was replaced later that year due to work commitments by Matt Green, Gus having stepped away from guitar duties due to personal reasons, Tom Dring also took a back seat due to concentrating on his new studio Arch Recordings with Gaz Johnson coming back in on drums the band are once again a 3 piece and working in 2026 on new material for a future album.STUNTFACE (Website)Established in May 1999, the band is made up of Wayne Firefly on vocals and bass guitar, Ian Maiden on guitar and vocals, Harry Kari on guitar and vocals and Nick Feratu on drums.Stuntface have played more than 600 gigs, released their first album in 2001, signed to Good Clean Fun Records, released a second album in 2003 and a third in 2007.

This event is 14+. Under 18s must be accompanied by a responsible adult and vacate the premises by no later than 11pm.Tony Wright is best known as the singer for Bradford rock band Terrorvision. However, when he's not touring with Terrorvision, he writes, records and tours under his own name with a setlist made up of songs he has written on his acoustic guitar - some upbeat, some melancholic, but all thought-provoking.To say Tony is a busy man would be an understatement. In addition to his three albums with his post-Terrorvision band ‘LaikaDog’, he has now released three solo albums to date.‘Thoughts ’n’ All’ is just Tony and his acoustic guitar. The follow up, ‘Walnut Dash’, brought the evolution of Tony with his acoustic guitar and a full band.The latest ‘The Anti Album’ is set to be his most ambitious album yet. The album takes influence from his previous works whilst managing to carve out its own place in Tony’s respectable discography.Tony always looks to pick up inspiration anywhere he can find it as he is always thinking about writing new material. Be sure to catch him on the road because you never know - you might just end up being the subject of one of his songs.
