WIKIPEDIA:

May Blitz  was a Canadian-British psychedelic rock  power trio  that was active in the early 1970s.

The group was formed in 1969 by bassist Terry Poole  and drummer Keith Baker , the rhythm section of the blues-rock  trio  Bakerloo , both of whom left the group when guitarist Clem Clempson  departed to join Colosseum . Jamie Black joined the group on vocals and guitars but both Poole and Baker left the group before it recorded, Poole joining Vinegar Joe  and Baker Uriah Heep .[1]  Black then added fellow Canadian Reid Hudson  on bass and Tony Newman , who had played with Jeff Beck , The Hollies  and Sounds Incorporated , on drums.

After playing UK pubs, the group signed with Vertigo Records  (in the US they were on Paramount Records [2] ) and released their debut album in 1970.[3]  A second album followed in early 1971, but due to lack of commercial success the trio disbanded in late 1971. Black and Hudson, both originally from Canada ,[4]  returned to their native country while Newman joined Three Man Army , founded and led by the Gurvitz brothers, Adrian  and Paul .[3]
