In 2011, Blitzkid were third on the bill of a North American tour with Face to Face , Strung Out , and the Darlings. This tour helped raise the band’s profile in the wider punk community. A reviewer for the Dallas Observer found the band’s “speedy pop-punk with a tinge of metal and classic Misfits” to be “worthy” and “polished”, while a reviewer of the Houston show opined that Blitzkid’s fusion of “horror punk, ’50s rock, and hardcore elements… kicked quite a bit of ass”. On the other hand, the advance coverage of the event in Nashville Scene , while praising the two headliners, dismissed Blitzkid as “gothy-looking mall rockers”. Following this tour Blitzkid again played Germany’s Summer Breeze Open Air festival in August 2011.
