HOME BLITZ - Out Of Phase LP
Highly recommended.
"Daniel DiMaggio has made good on the promise of his Home Blitz singles with Out Of Phase, the most glorious rock 12″ from New Jersey since Chronic Sick’s Cutest Band In Hardcore. DiMaggio magnifies the two aspects of Home Blitz I always found most appealing here: the catchy, naive rock as uplifting as it is unsettling, and the wild, unmedicated freakouts that might have Jad Fair saying “maybe we should stop for a second?” “Nest Of Vipers” kicks things off with one of those freakouts, and it’s great; it turns into four other songs along the way, and before you know it, “Two Steps” is blasting out surefire, Big Star-powered hooks. Home Blitz is nothing if not full of those hooks, sometimes providing more than a song rightfully needs. It’s the best kind of overload, though. Throw in a Cocksparrer cover that could easily double as the official Home Blitz anthem and you’ve got a messy rock record that is as uninhibited as it is timeless." - YGR
