The Blackout is a Punk rock act. Their sound grew out of A Skylit Drive, Alesana, Attack Attack!, We Are the Ocean and The Darkness. Those roots explain a lot about how The Blackout arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Madina Lake, Fightstar, Young Guns, Mallory Knox and Escape the Fate, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into The Business, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation.
