Blitzkid  began in Bluefield, WV in the winter of 1997.  In the 14 years that they have been a band, they have toured consistently all over theUS and overseas. The band is headed up by ARGYLE GOOLSBY(bass/vokills/metabolism), NATHAN BANE (guitar/keys/the brightside) and RICKO MORTIS (drums/job security). 

In the time they have been a band, they have garnered critical underground acclaim for their tireless work ethic, consistent, ever evolving album output, disregard for bad tour routing and dedication to giving their audience their money’s worth through providing energetic live shows and
playing great songs.

Blitzkid has a prodigious following in the states as well as Europe and have shared the stage, in some cases regularly, with many and great notable acts. Blitzkid have also been a regular part of many of the biggest festivals in Europe including M’era Luna, Rock My Ass, Endless Summer, Summer Breeze, and WGT.
 
Blitzkid  are signed to Century Media/People Like You Records worldwide and managed by Riot Rock Management.
They are booked exclusively by Destiny Tourbooking in Europe, and by The Pantheon Agency  in North America.

Their music has also appeared in many salient horror films, most notably "It Came From Trafalgar", “Dark Wings”: a documentary on the Mothman, “Satan Hates You”, and Gris Grimly’s classic “Cannibal Flesh Riot”.

They have also appeared favorably in  publications such as Terrorizer, Punk Rock Confidential, Metal Maniacs, Rue Morgue, Horrorhound, Virus, Drop Dead, Sonic Seducer, KinKats, Revolver, Zillo, and Ox.
 
Since they have been together, the band has captured the imaginations of fans of underground music all over the world. At Blitzkid shows, there is no separation between the band and the fans, and you can expect it to be a catharsis of emotion, intensity and a visible exorcism through raw melodicism.
 

Their aim has, and always will be, to create something meaningful for themselves and others through songs that stand the test of time.
 
LONG LIVE THE HORROR!!!
