When I hear… the sound of concrete and steel… I sense a rythm, that science can’t feel… I feel the beat… of our hearts as one… I hold your colour, when my vision is gone… This power is something but the force is blind… Transmitted through a network, of your own kind… As minutes tick away… and days become years… I know this old feeling, it’s a substance in my tears… And the kids on the street, And the kids everywhere, And all I gotta say is the kids don’t care… Oh mighty the Blitz, once a steamroller of ferocious mustache powered punk rock, like many of their generation they transitioned down the pathway towards the empty promise land that was new wave… but before completing that journey they released the glorious New Age single. Most of you yobs are fairly familiar with the A-side I imagine, but the B-side, “Fatigue” is actually the gem of the two cuts, which sadly goes oft unheard. Anyway, download the jams, and watch the boys argue with some annoying journalist about the validity of the title of their debut album…
