The Blackout (Woo! Official Thread)

[dancelukedance]

Signed to epitaph! and are releasing their sophomore album titled "The Best In Town" mid may. Really looking forward to this, their Ep and last album were awesome.

Anyone know or like these guys?

[TakeLotsWithAlcohol]

I thought this was a Blackout Pact thread. Eff this band.

[dancelukedance]

[Undue Noise]

Saw these guys last night. Third time seeing them live and they were amazing yet again.

Same here, I loved both the EP and full length. They played around three new songs I think, maybe two, but one of them was "Children." Have you seen the video for it?

[dancelukedance]

I just listened to their ep for the first time in ages. It's so good

[dancelukedance]

Nice. So i'm pretty sure it's released on the 25th May in the UK? and a month later everywhere else.

Im keen for it!

Yeah I thought so too. I'm not a huge fan of Enter Shikari so I preferred the other headliners.

Same. I don't like the political shit they are starting to do now

[dancelukedance]

Oh and the reason i added the "woo" in the thread title is because they "woo" in a lot of their songs haha, its sounds sick when they do it

[dancelukedance]

Impressed with the new disc!

[Undue Noise]

Impressed with the new disc!
I'm getting it Tuesday, so I assumed it leaked then? I'm not going to bother with the leak, I can wait a couple of days. Any stand out tracks?

I Love Myself And I Wanna Live and STFUppercut are my personal favs.

[MickShamrock]

Full album stream on their Myspace.

Oh sweet, yeah they put it on myspace a couple of days ago.

My favourite track at the moment is 'The Fire'. SO good!

[deanster321]

At the moment I like this album a bit more each time I hear it.

[MickShamrock]

Not liking it so much. Just on my first listen. I liked We Are The Dynamite straight away.

Give it another spin, im sure you'll warm to it. It's good but i thought it might have been heavier...

[Undue Noise]

Giving it a listen now and I'm not sure what to think yet. I'll post something more substantial later if songs start to stand out and I can give a proper opinion.

[MickShamrock]

I gave it another listen straight after my first listen. I'm going to give it another listen today. I wish it was heavier.

I was sort of on the fence with these guys a couple years ago but then I saw them fill in for Escape The Fate on the Taste of Chaos tour and Sean Smith kicked a full bottle of water into the crowd which hit me square in the face. That just pushed me over the edge lol. Seriously though, I don't get the hype about these guys at all, even aside from assaulting the crowd like that (ha) Smith comes across like a bit of a dildo.

[overdrive91]

the new album is really good. I really love it haha. Saw them live at thought they were kickass at punkspring (japan).

Honestly, it's a matter of opinion whether you think they're any good, but personally I think Sean's a cool guy. It sucks that you got injured (every Blackout show I've been to has been pretty rowdy) but I Sean's always been cool and friendly whenever I've met him. Maybe he just likes the British more. ;-)

This song has really really grown on me more than I was expecting: can't get it out of my head at the moment.
