Blackout
Last updated: 03 July 2009
One of the most hotly-tipped new hard rock/punk acts to come out of Wales in recent years, The Blackout are a heavy and intense sixpiece who combine furious drumming, soaring melodies and great crunching riffs.
Their closest musical peers are Funeral For A Friend, as The Blackout take the sounds of the rockstars' debut album, make them slightly heavier and add even more screams. The genre of 'screamo' has rarely seemed so appropriate.
