The 2nd Of May - MAY BLITZ***

For Mad Men Only/Snakes & Ladders/The 25th Of December 1969/In Part/8 Mad Grim Nits/High Beech/Honey Coloured Time/Just Thinking

Second and final album release from the British and Canadian progressive rock trio May Blitz. Several personnel changes and lack of commercial success led to their disbandment.

“This English power trio are one of tightest rhythm and blues units of history, playing a mixture of heavy psych with progressive influences. May Blitz are one of the few bands that manage to achieve a hard rock style that is distinctively exciting.”

“May Blitz may be one of my favourite bands when it comes to the rhythmical playing and the awesome heavy psych feel. This album shows just how much potential the band had, though the production doesn't always do the band justice.”

“Progressive and heavy psychedelic rock with some bluesy sound included in some of the songs. The 2nd Of May includes lots of great moments but unlike its predecessor this one includes some not so good tracks too. For example The 25th Of December 1969 is a pretty useless track and it feels like complete filler. However most of the rest of the material is very solid.”

“The predominant genre represented here is progressive hard rock, though not all of it would classify as progressive, and also, not all of it is hard either.” “A great follow up where they continue on same bluesy/psychedelic/hard rock/prog sound they did on their first album, with extended jams.”

“Oh dear, after the excellent first LP, that difficult second album feeling really kicked in and you can really sense that ‘OK guys, what do we do now’ seep into every track.”

“May Blitz put out the hardest rock and roll you have ever heard. Every cut a gem, so don't miss out.”
