Second record on Sexual Phonograph by Blitzkrieg, an English punk rock band, based in Southport and formed in 1979. 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 took a fiercely anti-Nazi stance. Their first song on vinyl was a contribution to the grandiose A Country Fit For Heroes compilation on No Future Records in 1982, one year later follows the first 7Inch 'Lest We Forget'. 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. Soon after the release the band broke up, then appeared in the 90s for four years and since 2007 again present and in 2008 they released their last album 'Everything Is Lies' on Dumbdown Records. So let's get ready for good ole UK punk.
