       About BLACKOUT
    BLACKOUT


    Blackout is a band from Augusta, Georgia that formed in late 2005. As a band, we try our best to generate variety within our music. In fact, we have no general sense of direction as far as a straight-forward single style of music or sub-genre of rock, so we often experiment with different styles that we know of or just randomly make up our own. We continue to and always will love our friends and fans and hope that all of you continue to listen to our music. Thankyou for checking out our MySpace page and enjoy our music that we currently have up and later on in the future.
