The Blackout // Start The Party
The Blackout's newest offering to the ever growing British rock scene, Start The Party completely reflects their energetic, fun-filled shows
Release date: 21st January 2013
Anyone who has ever experienced The Blackout live will know they are all about having fun, getting involved with the crowd and generally partying. Their newest offering to the ever growing British rock scene, Start The Party completely reflects their energetic, fun-filled shows. Opening track, the very aptly named, Start The Party, debuted at 2012’s Reading Festival to great accord is loud, is full of energy and just screams fun. The Blackout’s best songs are always the ones full of heavy guitars and sing along choruses and this album is packed with them. This record is from start to finish simply buzzing with lively, boisterous excitement and really creates a party atmosphere. Without purposely comparing them to another Welsh band, it's obvious the guys have taken influence from some of the older Lostprophets material but they manage to deliver it in a way that is fresh and sounds new. This album really is a step up from their last and I cannot wait to see the songs performed live.
