Distorted bagpipes and tin whistles collide with high-octane street punk to create a rowdy, beer-soaked collection of anthems for the Boston working class.

Blackout is the sound of a Boston pub at midnight, where the line between a brawl and a celebration has completely vanished. It is an unapologetically loud collision of street punk aggression and centuries-old Irish folk tradition. The guitars are thick and distorted, providing a heavy foundation for bagpipes and tin whistles that don't just decorate the tracks but lead the charge. This isn't background music; it is a physical experience designed to be shouted back at a stage or a jukebox, characterized by gang vocals that make every chorus feel like a communal oath.
