FOREMOST & FAIR

The fractured, ballsy electric guitar pop from Dan DiMaggio's outfit defines the form. Anybody who has been paying attention already knows that the Home Blitz name is a trademark of quality stamped on a handful of singles and EPs, as well as their jaw-dropping album on the Richie Records label. Foremost & Fair continues the trajectory of those records, achieving heights of fidelity, craft and fretwork dexterity that will continue to elude humbuggers, ham 'n' eggers, and all the other-butter-users for years to come.'DiMaggio and the Home Blitz name have rightfully been pegged to the tradition of prolific, idiosyncratic punk-qua-pop individualists, but if you're looking for a convenient reference, you won't find it in this little write-up. Home Blitz stands alone.
