Even bros chilling in Ireland were stoked on jamming Home Blitz during their first go round, and for good reason. Daniel DiMaggio, totally hunky Jersey-guy from Princeton started Home Blitz in 2006 and went on to record an awesome album and play sick shows from then until August 2008. After that, the band got de-railed and DiMaggio focused on song writing, solo performing, and briefly, getting his high school band Great Excape back together for a few gigs, including Woodsist/Caputured Tracks fest on 4th of July in Brooklyn.
Well now, after an extensive search for a band he can rely on, DiMaggio has relaunched the epic Home Blitz and I am super excited! The new lineup features WFMU's own Jason Sigal on bass (Lame Drivers, Great Excape), super smoking chick Theresa Smith on guitar, and, for now, the punkest 15 year old drummer you've ever seen. You will love Home Blitz. Poppy punk with a noisy edge. Love this band, love you too. Check out "Two Steps" from the recently released "O.ut O.f P.hase", available now in CD, soon to be out on 12 inch vinyl!

"bros" "chilling" "stoked" and "jamming" -- all in the first line, no less. Welcome to the new BoTB, I guess....

hunks and a super smoking chick as a selling point---please ---there has to be a better way to inform us of this group's music? Some kind of journalistic standards on this thing?

CT, I guess not. This posts reads like promo ala Pitchfork. Awesome and sick, dudes! Like totally.

No, JLS, the other commenters are doing the "douche who's too cool for this blog" shtick.

Hey, I’ve been wondering something for a while. What’s up with all these kids wearing Misfits T-shirts I’ve been seeing for so many years (way way more than Danzig shirts)- do they actually know the band or have they somehow just been marketed as cool T-shirts? I saw the Misfits play in a club in Watts once. True!

Yes, the schtick is to write in such a way as to pretend to be an inarticulate teenager while underneath lurks original and sophisticated ideas...also masked as those of an inarticulate teenager. It's very, very, very, very complicated.
