Goldblade are an English punk rock band from Manchester, England.

The band signed to Ultimate Records and released their first single, "Soul Power", before releasing several more singles and two albums - "Home Turf" (1996/97
), and "Goldblade Drop the Bomb" (1998) before Simmons departed. In 2000, Goldblade then recruited a new percussionist, Martin Gray, into the line up and recorded two further singles "AC/DC" and "Who Was The Killa?" together with a third album "Do You Believe In The Power Of Rock 'n' Roll" all released in 2002 on a new label, Twenty Stone Blatt.
In 2001, Jay Taylor left the band to concentrate on his Bonebox project, and
