APRIL 24, 2012 - Ever since their lineup was completed in mid-2011, No Blitz has been gaining momentum, both onstage and in the studio. The Northern Virginia based band—RYAN WOGH (lead vocals, guitar), JAMES CICHRA (guitar), DAN HORNER (bass) and SHANE STEENBERGE (drums)--has opened gigs for Fuel and The Parlor Mob and have performed in the greater D.C. area at hotspots like JAXX, JAMMIN JAVA, and DC9. Yet as they release their highly anticipated seven track debut album, the good news for fans is that they’re always striving for more—and NEVER SATISFIED. According to WOGH, the band’s lead songwriter, the album title strongly reflects NO BLITZ’s collective philosophy as they begin to “up” their game and take their music and visibility to the next phase of their career. With a wide array of influences ranging from FOO FIGHTERS, MUSE, COHEED and CAMBRIA and even METALLICA, their songs are very guitar oriented with a strong emphasis on driving drum beats. The collection includes everything from what WOGH likes to call “blast you in the face rock” to more mid tempo, less blistering tunes like “AIM TO PLEASE” and “I ALONE.” The fact that three of the band members play drums and all four play guitar means they’re all well versed in each other’s instruments; this allows for a lot of dynamic, intertwined collaboration between them.
