Background notes
Archive material and source history
The Blackout City Kids formed in 2013 with four friends from San Francisco: Camilo Machado on guitar and vocals, Max Boyko on bass, Dave Berlin on drums, and Justin Harnett on guitar. They started playing in local clubs and open mics, working through the usual early struggles of a new band.
In 2015, their song "Wrong Turn" got some attention. It had a haunting melody and introspective lyrics that connected with listeners. That track, along with "Mercy," helped define their sound, raw energy mixed with something more reflective.
Some critics questioned their authenticity or found their lyrics too dark, but they kept writing what felt right to them. Their music often circled around themes of heartbreak and loss, delivered with enough melodic pull to keep it from feeling heavy.
