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…

Our biggest issue yet – packed with exclusives, legends, and synthpop stories!

Following the phenomenal response to our John Lydon cover feature, Blitzed 20 raises the bar once again with another essential edition filled with iconic interviews, deep dives, and scene-defining stories from the worlds of synth, new wave, post-punk, and electronic music.

We’re honoured to present a WORLD EXCLUSIVE with Hazel O’Connor, marking her first interview in three years following a major medical emergency in 2022. Hazel opens up about her recovery journey, her music, and her ongoing resilience – and graces our cover with strength and grace.

 

Plus: Expanded album and EP reviews, live reviews (Alison Moyet, Kim Wilde, TWIN NOIR, Jeff Wayne’s The War of the Worlds, Pete Wylie & the Mighty Wah!), competitions, Tech Corner, and your contributions to our buzzing Readers Think Tank.

We’re also delighted to welcome Richard Evans, renowned 1980s synthpop and Erasure expert, to the Blitzed editorial team, bringing his unique insights and passion to the mix.
