The Blackout

[Max]

Saw this band the other day they were playing at the students union at my uni so there were only about 50 people there. I wasn't really a fan before I saw them but it was such an awesome gig I now love their recent album!

If anyone's into a bit of post hardcore slightly screamo stuff with pop thrown in then check them out.

This is one of their songs -

[Boni]

These guys have been one of my favourite bands for quite a while now. Shut-The-Fuck-Uppercut is one of their best songs for me.

Saw them in like... 2005 when they opened Give it a Name they were quite good.

They're not bad, but they're neither a post-hardcore nor a screamo band. They play emocore.

Wayyyy too emo for me.

Yeh man! That's my fave song too but I couldn't find the video for it. Is it a single?

I really wouldn't class them as emo though. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post_hardcore pretty sure they come under post hardcore since they're similar to Silverstein but less emo lyrics.

[Hentaiman]

They're a nice band. I liked their last album, and their cover of I Kissed a Girl - its was pretty cool. Children of the Night is a good song.

[Boni]

They did a cover of My Generation by Limb Bizkit. It was epic.

They covered that and also Fight For Your Right To Party! Which was awesome.

If you've listened to enough post-hardcore and emocore bands then you would know that The Blackout is emocore.

Real post-hardcore bands: Glassjaw, Thrice, Fugazi, Handsome, At the Drive-In, Quicksand, The Blood Brothers, The Nation of Ulysses, Rival Schools, Bear vs. Shark, etc.

People think these are post-hardcore bands, but they're emocore: Silverstein, Funeral for a Friend, A Static Lullaby, Attack Attack!, Alesana, Saosin, We Came As Romans, Asking Alexandria, Eyes Set to Kill, etc.

ye, they're good. New album was good!

[Jeremy Kill]

I've got one album by them. Not sure which one, I think it came out last year. All I remember is Boni was the one to post the link. Anyway, they're not bad.

[Bobbyjames]

never been a huge fan of this band, saw them in 2006 opening for Lostprophets and were alright live. their first EP was awesome though.

None of these bands even come close to Sum 41. I hate listening to emo/hardcore/whatever the fuck music it is because the songs seem so unorganized to me with a pussy vocalist that sounds like he's crying and the main guitar riff being some high pitched bullshit or one variation of two chords being played in triplets.

That's because you've never heard a good emocore band.

Yeah I never have, so I immediately assume there aren't any. That type of music just bothers me.
