Color It In

With food, beer and America at the forefront, it only makes sense guitar player/vocalist Christian Gordy and drummer Taryn Waldman would meet at Gordy's 2011 July 4th cookout in the Bushwick neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York. Waldman, a former Hooter's waitress turned big time commercial film editor; and Gordy, a one-legged bartender/artist/BBQ enthusiast were an oddball couple for NY's rigid metal scene. With no direction and zero discussion the two instinctually began banging out some massive caveman jams that could party as much as they could crush. In the following months, the two recruited fellow rager Justin Sherrell for bass duties... and things got loud and heavy. BLACKOUT — referring to blackout drunk, power failure, or a mobster hit on an entire family — was a no brainer of a name.

In November 2012 BLACKOUT recorded their debut LP, 'We Are Here', at Vacation Island studio with engineer/producer Rob Laakso (Diamond Nights, Swirlies, Kurt Vile). The band self released the record on vinyl/digital in 2013 to a widely accepting audience, and even garnered praises from the some of the hottest blogs du jour. The band has been gigging around the NYC area for it’s 3 year existence but has ventured to Canada, Maine, Philly, Providence and Austin, sharing the stage with acts such as Acid King, Weedeater, Trouble, and many more.
During the summer of 2013, the band began working on a new body of songs… strictly working off riffs spontaneously summoned during practice. Lots of things were chucked, then rediscovered, then tossed again, recycled etc. What you have now in 2014, is the newest record from these mom approved hooligans, appropriately self titled 'Blackout'. In September, the band was invited to join the killer lineup of RidingEasy Records, who will release the album in early 2015. The band is continuing on an upward journey to the pillar of rock and roll righteousness and is ready to take on the world. you have been warned.

Good To Me Now

Everything's Gonna Be Alright

crusher

A hymn for the star-born.
This track traces the structure of the universe not as science alone, but as something sacred. A divine equation unfolding in silence.

With lyrics shaped like orbitals and verses pulled from the breath of black holes, this is not a song about space, but from within it. Galaxies, nebulae, and stardust become symbols — metaphors for being, memory, and time.

The Gnosis Version leans into the infinite: no answers, just expansion.

The Endless Frontier

Cosmology Domine (Gnosis Version)

Cross My Heart and Hope to Die

"Love Is Danger" is a poignant fusion of indie rock, dream pop, and psychedelic pop, delving into the tumultuous nature of love, regret, and enduring connection. This track explores the internal conflict of wanting to love deeply yet fearing commitment, ultimately realizing the profound cost of holding back. It's a raw, emotional narrative of a love that, despite past missteps, refuses to fade.

The song crafts a captivating atmosphere with lush, echoing synth pads and expressive, reverb-drenched guitars that convey both longing and introspection. A steady, driving rhythm section underpins the track, pushing the narrative forward while maintaining a dreamy, atmospheric quality. Vocals (if present) should be heartfelt and earnest, drawing listeners into the emotional core of the lyrics, "You are the spark I can't forget / The hurt I carry with regret."

"Love Is Danger" is perfect for moments of quiet reflection, evoking the bittersweet memories of past choices and the enduring power of true affection.

City of Loneliness

Love Is Danger

Wanderer "Love is danger"

Ordinary

"We are all prisoners of the dusk, dreaming of a dawn that never comes. For in the abyss of night, even stars are but dying embers—fleeting and frail. And when the wind howls its lonely hymn, remember: darkness is the mirror where lost souls recognize themselves. Here, in the silence of eternal shadows, the heart becomes a desert… and the light, a distant rumor."
