HOME BLITZ is 21-year-old DANIEL DIMAGGIO from Princeton, New Jersey. He recorded and released his first two singles on his own. Those two early gems are a magic whirl of early Modern Lovers, Big Star, and Flamin' Groovies circa '72--but with a casual no-fi vibe that sounds closer to the first couple Harry Pussy singles. On this new CD release, Gulcher has collected those first two singles (way out of print), material from a cassette release, a new HB 12-inch EP, and two otherwise unavailable tracks. From the first single, "Apocalyptic Grades 2005" is a powerpop/postpunk hybrid with guitars that sound like the Fall circa '78 covering the Flamin' Groovies. The very bratty "AC S.S.," sounds like early Screamin' Mee-Mees crossed with early Modern Lovers, and "Hey!" comes on as if Big Star's Radio City had been recorded under the more addled conditions of Alex Chilton's Like Flies On Sherbert.
