Biography
Blitzkrieg Bop was an English punk rock band formed in Teesside, England, in 1977, named after a song by the Ramones. The core line-up of John Hodgson (aka Blank Frank), Alan Cornforth (aka Nicky Knoxx) and Damian Blackwell (aka Telly Sett) evolved from a rock band called Adamanta Chubb who started in 1974. Their debut single, "Let's Go / Bugger Off / 9 Till 5" (1977), was followed by two more singles: "Let's Go / Life Is Just a So-So / Mental Case" (1977) and "(You're Like a) UFO / Viva Bobby Joe" (1978). They played support spots with notable bands such as Ultravox! and The Saints, but disbanded in 1979. Their compilation album, Top of the Bops (1998), was followed by a live album, Live '77 & Beyond (2013).
