Storming through the age of Quarrel

You probably already know but if you don't now you do.
German dates for the Judge euro tour 2014 with Cro-Mags

See you at one or maybe all of those shows.

 

Never in the night

What's there to say about Blitz? I'm sure you know about their influence on early hardcore bands like SSD and Iron Cross for example and that Judge put a cover of 'Warriors' on their 7". Maybe you also know that their music changed quite a bit after the first 3 Singles and the 'Voice Of A Generation' full length. So with nothing else for me to add here is...

 

Blitz - Never Surrender b/w Razors In The Night - No Future Records - Oi 6

Do you ever get so excited about a record that you don't see the obvious damage to the cover? It's not that this is a very rare 7" which actually doesn't make it that exciting to find one yet the first time I picked up a copy of this record I only realized later that the cover was damaged. Obviously not bad enough for me to notice right away but still too much for me to be satisfied with.

This time I double checked before buying so I can finally move on with one less pebble in my shoe and a shorter distance to travel until completing the most crucial part of my Blitz collection. The most crucial part being 1st pressings of the 4 releases already mentioned above and of their more New Wave sounding 7" with the killer titletrack 'New Age'. Everything else is on the same list as those later TSOL or Circle Jerks records.

Concerning this I am missing left and right while the middle is all set now. Or to be a little more precise I still need the 'All Out Attack' and 'New Age' singles. Doesn't sound too bad.
