Comments / Notes: Blitz were the quintessential UK82 band, bridging the gap between the skinhead Oi! scene and the mohawked punk explosion. Time Bomb is an essential archival collection that gathers the band's blistering early singles—including the stone-cold classics "Someone's Gonna Die" and "Razors In The Night"—alongside rare demo versions of tracks that would later define their debut album, Voice of a Generation. This record captures Blitz at their most raw and powerful, before their later shift into post-punk territory. For anyone interested in the roots of street punk, this collection is non-negotiable.
