Bluefield, West Virginia, United States (1997 – present)

Blitzkid is a horror punk band and began in the winter of 1997 in Bluefield, West Virginia, United States, with guitarist/vocalist/songwriter TB Monstrosity and bassist/vocalist/songwriter Argyle Goolsby.
After recording a 10 song demo just for fun titled “SONGS FOR THE AESTHETICALLY CHALLENGED” the band became a bit more serious and gained it’s first 3-piece lineup. In 1998, the trio began songwriting, rehearsing, and started playing local gigs. In May of 1999, they recorded the 7-song “REVISITED EP”. This particular release showcased a more hookladen “horror rock” approach that the band had already hinted at. The recording also showcased some of the band’s most popular material to date in the songs “Nadine”, the original recording of “Slaughter At the Sock Hop”, and “Hate You Better”.
By the winter of 1999, Blitzkid entered Lively Sound Studios in Lewisburg, WV to record the 13 song full length “TERRIFYING TALES” album. Extensive gigs soon followed in their hometown as well as branching out for the first time into surrounding states. Soon afterward, the revamped creeprock trio quickly began work at Real 2 Reel studios in Blacksburg, VA in the summer of 2001 for the 12 track “LET FLOWERS DIE” album.
“LFD” was unleashed upon unsuspecting fiends December 29th, 2001. In December of 2003, Fiend Force Records(from Germany) began working with the band and placed a track by them on their debut compilation album “THIS IS HORRORPUNK”, followed by the Euro release of their 2003 recording “TRACE OF A STRANGER”.
