Blitzed

Blitzed magazine is a bi-monthly lifestyle and music magazine that magnifies and examines all things from the 1980s. The concept of Blitzed Magazine started as a music publication inspired by the Blitz club in London. The music they played there, bands who met there and artists who continue to be inspired by the club. As well as the people who went (or wished they had!)

As things have progressed we’ve realised that the ‘cult with no name’ means so much more. It inspired fashion and lifestyle, helped to promote a more inclusive society sexually and produced some of the icons of the last 40 years. Be enlightened, again, or for the first time. Blitzed – The Stars are Aligned…

In the latest issue of Blitzed, we have an exclusive interview with the original punk icon John Lydon chatting about the Sex Pistols, Public Image Ltd and more! Godfather of Goth, ex-Bauhaus frontman Peter Murphy talks about his new album, working with producer Youth again, the theatrics of stage performance, and his recent duet with Boy George. Also, Ade Fenton talks to Blitzed about his solo projects and gives us an insight into working with Gary Numan.
 

We meet with OMD legend Mal Holmes discussing making music and life during and after OMD. There’s also an interview with The Mighty Wah!’s own Pete Wylie as his ‘Songs of Strength and Heartbreak’ is reissued. Stephen ‘Tintin’ Duffy talks about his time with Duran Duran, Tin Tin, and The Lilac Time and Richard Barbieri tells us about his exciting life with The Porcupine Tree and Japan. There’s also an interview with Wolfgang Flür and Peter Duggal chatting about new album ‘Times’.
 

Elsewhere, there’s conversations with Radio DJ Gary Davies, Deviant’s Jay Smith, VNV Nation’s Ronan Harris and DJ and musician Mark Reeder opens up about the Berlin music scene through his eyes.

In reviews and features, we cast an eye on releases from Dead Or Alive, The Fall, Bill Nelson, Kraftwerk’s classic ‘Autobahn’ at 50, Generation Blitz, Blondie’s iconic album ‘Parallel Lines’ and more. In live reviews Blitzed reports on gigs from Culture Club. ACTORS and The Human League.
