The Blitz Brothers were an English new wave band based in Merseyside, England, comprising Chris Hughes (drums and FX), Dave Bates (vocals), Steve Lovell (guitars) and Hugh Jones (bass). [1]

They released two singles, "Gloria" in 1979 and "Rose Tattoo" in 1980. By this time they had founded the subsidiary label Back Door, which signed the synthpop band Dalek I Love You. The band helped to produce and collaborate in the "Dalek I Love You (Destiny)" single and the debut album Compass Kumpas. [2]

Later, Chris Hughes joined Adam and the Ants, and in 1981 he worked again with Dalek I Love You.
