EPYSODE 64: "May Blitz" by May Blitz.

Guest: May Blitz bassist Reid Hudson.

Additional commentary by Uncle Herff.

Fresh off our deep dive into As Sheriff’s lost 60's recordings, we follow the trail to London in 1970, where bassist Reid Hudson helped forge something far heavier. With guitarist Jamie Black and drummer Tony Newman, May Blitz delivered a self-titled debut that captured the raw, thunderous spirit of the era’s underground rock scene.
We spin through the album’s molten riffs, jazz-inflected rhythms, and acid-soaked atmosphere, an explosive mix that put the band in the same league as Black Sabbath and Atomic Rooster.
Half power trio, half psychedelic séance, this album remains a cult cornerstone of the heavy progressive movement.

I hope you dig "May Blitz" as much as I do.
