Fuck sake lads, you’re from Merthyr Tydfil, not the Mid West. You are not Lostprophets, either; we’ve one of those already. So your point is…?
The Blackout are a box-ticking beat combo: six men with haircuts probably more expensive than their shoes, playing the kind of pop-hooked rock music that passes for emo nowadays. It’s entirely unlikely that one of The Blackout’s members possesses a Jets To Brazil album. It’s entirely probable, though, that they saw Funeral For A Friend once and figured, “If those fakers can get away with this shit, us suckers can too, and what’s more, some label is bound to buy into it, even if the scene’s turning to dog shit about us, and the kids are rebelling, dismissing us sappy tykes in favour of bands that rock properly, you know, bands that do not sound eight years out of date before they’re released a debut album”.
‘The Beijing Cocktail’ is, basically, the kind of pointless, spent-force, flatline-ambition noise that really doesn’t warrant a revi…
We had a black out down our street once
we formed a posse and strung the fucker up
YAYYYY!!!!!
being from merthyr (or thereabouts), ive had to put up with years of these wankers being touted as the new messiahs in skinny jeans, it feels strangely satisfying to see them get taken apart on DiS. Shows the sad state of the local scene though, which is almost entirely comprised of this copycat EMO bullshit. This may well have made my day.
fucking yes
i hate these cunts with a passion.
i still can't believe a label that i once held quite a soft spot for, would release this fucking tripe.
The Blackout are pretty awful
Not sure the FFAF fakers jibe has any real substance to it though
blackout 1/10
f4af 8/10
No way dude!
Their shoes look well pricey
i hate this band
literally hate.
blackout are awsome
The blackout are fuckin amazing.Bands such as the ting tings do not fucking help the music image of fag indie music, it is already a load of 3 chord bollocks that is completely fucking talentless. also why do fucking wank indie bands have to have such fucking wank names such as pete and the pirates or fucking joe fucking lean and the jing fucking jang fucking jong. I agree with Hayward, this music makes my fuckin ears bleed, it is truely shite. indie music makes me more fucking suicidal than any emo music could possible, go and get some fucking talent, learn more chords, stop using keyboards to cover up your bollocks out of tune sound and a singer who doesnt sound like a drowned cat! ps joe hales your taste of music is shite and if anyone hears of a band called the poineers ignore tham, they are a pile of wank stain.
