Gods of Blitz is a rock band founded in Berlin. They perform a pop-friendly style of indie rock, with strong punk and metal influences.
History
The members are Sebastian Gabel (vocals & bass), Olli Wong and Jens Giovanni Freudenberg (guitars), and Jakob Kiersch (drums). Their debut album, Stolen Horse, has garnered praise throughout German media, as well as assorted Australian music magazines (after opening for Wolfmother), including Rolling Stone. With production from Torsten Otto and Gordon Raphael (The Strokes, Wildhearts) and mixing by Michael Ilbert (The Hives, The Cardigans, Hellacopters), the band delivers a sound familiar to the American and British indie scene currently dominating radio and music television.
Gods of Blitz have also supported Maxïmo Park and Nick Oliveri (ex-frontman for Queens of the Stone Age). The band embarked on a tour of England and Germany in early 2006.
