Spike formed the Retch Records label.
Their most famous member, Dave "Bambi" Ellesmere, played with The Insane (as did guitarist Gary).
Blitzkrieg were a moderately popular punk band: their debut Lest We Forget E.P. sold over 20,000 copies and Animals In Lipstick sold well, too. This success didn't stop them splitting in 1983, and their reformation in 1987 lasted just a couple of years, after which Spike formed Paradox UK. These two bands have been operating in tandem on-and-off ever since.
DISCOGRAPHY
Subsequent studio albums: The Future Must Be Ours (1991), Everything Is Lies (2001), The Gathering Storm (split with Paradox U.K., c. 2004).
