Consideration. Focus. Deceleration. Pretty rare qualities in a time when the music industry serves, eats, chews, swallows and shits out dozens of bands every day. The device is “be quick or be dead”. The result is soulless, heartless and meaningless expression of shallow words and music.

The Blackout Argument slowed down in 2010. Not because of a lack of time or motivation but as a consequence of a rational decision. Having reached most of their personal goals and a good dose of “common music business goals” such as various European tours, constant media presence and positive press feedback and a long list of notable releases, the band more and more zeroed in on the true crux of playing in a band: music itself and its creation. Focusing on the quality and heart in everything they do, this shift in The Blackout Arguement’s self-concept and vision lead to the native but also longsome birth of their new album “Detention”.

Infact the creative process of “Detention” started in June 2009 already, when the first 5 songs were written and demo’ed. Since then The Blackout Argument have worked constantly on both, the album and the band itself. They wrote and recorded more than 20 songs, reworked them and let them mature in a constant cycle and finally tracked them at Suiseidl Studios (Munich, Germany) with highest care and considertion. Subsequently this creation was narrowed down to a selection of 12 harmonizing songs which in the end made up “Detention”, to be released in January 2011.

The Blackout Argument pride themselves over their effort to self-produce “Detention”, an approach that played another key role in (re-)coining the band. “Detention” is challenging and manifold yet extremely catchy and engaging. It creates a very sanguine mix of heavy rock and forward-thinking hardcore. It became nothing less than the album the band always wanted to create.

Embedded in this emotional and strategic agitation the move to a new label just came naturally. Sharing equal ideas, motivation and focus, Redfield Records were the perfect match and thus became the new home for The Blackout Argument.

This band is ready and excited to show off once more the great gap between them and all those short-lived, lukewarm and heartless bands. Bolstered by the songs of their upcoming album ‘Detention’ and sharp set for any stage on this planet, The Blackout Argument continue to build their reputation as a powerhouse of passion and authenticity.

Wut ohne Hass. Stärke ohne Zerstörung. Macht ohne Willkür. Gewalt ohne Anfang - Gewalt ohne Ende.
 
GWLT - So einfach und präzise beschreibt ein einziges Wort das neue musikalische Projekt von David, Fabian, Florian und Chris sowohl inhaltlich als auch künstlerisch. In Zeiten in denen geist- und willenlose Hersteller fast jeden kulturellen Markt regieren und mit tausendfach kopierten und reproduzierten Produkten überfluten ist der Output den GWLT liefern pure Provokation.
 
OHNE ANFANG - Ein Projekt wie GWLT wird nicht gegründet. Es entsteht eigenmächtig, wächst autark und manifestiert sich ohne fremde Einwirkung. Das alles geschieht nicht zufällig sondern aus einem bestimmten Grund: um ein vorhandenes Vakuum zu füllen. GWLT artikulieren ihren Willen und ihre Überzeugung mit Hilfe einer unmissverständlichen Sprache und erreichen damit eine Genre- und Kultur-übergreifende Gemeinschaft die sich auf dieselbe Art und Weise auch innerhalb der Band wiederspiegelt.
 
OHNE ENDE - Es gibt keine Regeln und keine Leitlinien. Ebenso wenig gibt es jedoch Kompromisse. Ziele werden nicht konstruiert sondern erreicht. Pläne werden nicht geschmiedet sondern umgesetzt. Wege nicht erschlossen sondern geebnet. GWLT sind loyal und ehrenhaft, dabei jedoch niemandem außer sich selbst verpflichtet.

Epitaph Records is an independent music label founded in Los Angeles by Bad Religion guitarist Brett Gurewitz. Early releases from a variety of punk heavyweights spawned what became known as the 90s punk explosion. 

Along the way Epitaph proudly launched its sister label ANTI-, representing unique and distinguished acts. From the beginning Epitaph’s mission has been to serve the musicians on its diverse and creative roster - an artist-first model, radical twenty years ago, and much imitated today.
