Blitzed Issue 17
In the latest issue of Blitzed, we have an exclusive interview with Peter Godwin on his intriguing musical journey as a long-overdue assessment of his career arrives with a brand-new compilation. We also chat to former Cocteau Twins icon Robin Guthrie on his dreampop past and brand-new EP.
As 80s pop outfit Red Box are showcased in a new compilation, we sit down with them to lend some perspective on those years. Former Sisters of Mercy founder-member Gary Marx speaks on his love of Glam Rock, while musician and producer Bill Nelson casts light on his own prestigious musical heritage. Plus, exclusive interviews with The Church’s Steve Kilbey, The Wolfgang Press and German electronic act Beborn Beton.
2024 continues to see more classic album anniversaries, so we look back at Heaven 17’s Cold War-tinged How Men Are, Julian Cope’s baroque pop debut World Shut Your Mouth, David Bowie’s often-maligned Tonight and Frankie Goes To Hollywood’s classic Welcome To The Pleasuredome. Plus, features on Robyn Hitchcock, The Replacements and Arcadia as well as a look at 21 essential 1980s-era remixes!
In reviews, we cast an eye over a range of releases and reissues, including offerings from Peter Godwin, Talk Talk, Bryan Ferry, Duran Duran, LEATHERS, Marc Almond and more. Plus, live reports from Big Country, Squeeze, Mark Wardell’s Bowie exhibition and Marc Almond in concert.
All this plus the regular Blitzed features and columns, including AnalogueTrash, Electronic Café, Kevin O’Dowd, Mik Scarlet and Neil Scott.
