“They are middle England's worst nightmare come true, which is what Rock 'n' Roll should be”

Jeremy Dellar, 2004 Turner Prize winner



The Blackout Crew were formed at the Harmony Youth Project, their local youth Club in Bolton; it was there the “quirky” group recorded their first tracks and set the foundations and style of a debut album, self titled Blackout Crew!



This new breed of boy band began distributing their tracks themselves amongst friends and family resulting in a growing circle of fans who followed the guys through social networking sites, their You Tube page and bluetoothing their tracks from phone to phone.



But despite with their rising popularity, The Blackout Crew still struggled to make money from their music as their fan base were illegally downloading their music.



The Blackout Crew were Initially formed by youth leaders Paul and Charlie and were inspired by the donk sounds of Alex K and the NRG/Bounce music played at the likes of Wigan Pier and various North-West clubs.



The first wave of Blackout Crew members included Viper (Kurtis Chadwick), Rapid (Robert Davis) & Dowie (Kevin Allison). They were later joined by Zak (Zak Kabbani) & Cover (Jordan Cover).



In 2005 the Blackout Crew started touring covering under 18’s Events across the UK, which gave them huge exposure outside their hometown.



Following on from their hugely well received tour, The Blackout Crew went on to film a gritty video for BBBBounce, produced by BBP (on a budget of £8!) and shot in the suburbs of Bolton. The video was fantastically received by Bouncy House fans and clinched the guys a deal with record label giants AATW in 2007.



2008 saw the release of ‘Put A Donk On It’ – an instant anthem which not only pleased the ever-growing fan-base but also caught the attention of the media and has led to pieces in The Times and The Guardian.



Their videos have become a huge focal point for their fans gaining You Tube views of over 10 million, making them the biggest music TV phenomenon for 14-18 age group.



They have now completed their debut album which will feature all the tracks above plus the new single Rumpa Pumpa.
