Background notes
Archive material and source history
The Blackout formed in Penarth, Wales in 2003 with Sean Smith on vocals, Gavin Butler on guitar, Matthew Davies on bass, and James Davies on drums. Their debut album 'We Are the Dynamite' came out in 2007, followed by 'The Best In Town' in 2009 and 'Hope' in 2011.
They built a following with songs like 'My Generation' and 'Children Of The Night,' playing energetic rock that drew comparisons to bands like Green Day and Blink-182. Their fans called themselves the 'Blackout Army.'
In 2009, after releasing 'The Best In Town,' Sean Smith was diagnosed with a serious illness. The band kept performing while he recovered. They announced they were breaking up in 2013, about ten years after they started.
