Overkill has been in the industry for decades now and the band just dropped their 20th studio album. More recently, rock veteran Bobby Blitz spoke in an interview and revealed his true feelings to those who believe that their group is only a "one trick pony."
The musician dropped by Full Metal Jackie's weekend radio show where he was asked about what changes the most about the nature of their band through the years.
The American singer explained that the music part of their group is something that they have to "reinvent" without losing their identity even though the band has been known for many years now.
Throughout their careers, Bobby explained that they never had an identity crisis, but they always have to share new music to fans that would still feel fresh.
Bobby Blitz's Message to People Who Say Overkill is a 'One Trick Pony'
Furthermore, the Overkill singer opened up about the public criticizing them for being a one trick pony and he has one thing to say:
"People could say Overkill are a one trick pony and they've been that way since Feel the Fire or The Years of Decay or Horrorscope, but the truth is that someone who says something like that is really not listening to the songs," he said. (via Loudwire)
He added that those people might listen to some of their songs and compared it to the older one, but the two of them are completely different.
"We're not a one trick pony and we need that reinvention to stay fresh. Even if it's reinventing what was reinvented, that's what makes the whole thing stay current and stay fun," he added.
