About Blitz // Berlin:

Blitz//Berlin is composed of Martin Macphail, Dean Rode and Tristan Tarr, three self-described “punk kids” from Toronto. Their Juno Award Nominated debut instrumental album Movements 1 features a collection of the bands’ original neo-classical and film score compositions including “Surfboard Fire”, which is featured in 2016’s most viewed movie trailer for the highly anticipated film The Girl On The Train.

For the movie trailer, Blitz//Berlin joined forces with American rapper, songwriter, record producer, fashion designer and entrepreneur Kanye West to compose and score the music that includes a sample from West’s global hit song “Heartless”. “Surfboard Fire” was presented the Bronze Award at the 2016 Clio Awards for “Best Use of Music”. The momentum continued as the band was featured on the Fifty Shades Darker trailer, with the Blitz//Berlin redux of the Zayn and Taylor Swift song “I Don’t Wanna Live Forever”.

Recorded throughout 2016 in Toronto, Vancouver, Tokyo and Los Angeles Movements 1 also features original compositions from select films such as The Void and It Stains The Sands Red, which won “Best Film (Midnight X-treme)” at the Sitges Film Festival. After entering the Hollywood film score scene in 2014 with the movie Extraterrestrial, Blitz//Berlin released their debut album Distance in October 2015. Featuring a slew of genre-bending tracks including lead single “Jesus Shoes”, Distance blends experimental rock with catchy hooks and electro-punk vibes.
