Crazy wacky fun-post-hardcore Welsh lads The Blackout are currently urging everybody within earshot to “Start The Party!”, and to whip up a frenzy in advance of their new album (titled, obviously, Start The Party) they stopped in at Oxford’s O2 Academy 2 as part of a national tour. It seems like the party was started as they had planned, and a packed-out super fun time was had by all. Also in attendance were Straight Lines – further bringing a slice of noisy Wales to the venue.

Thanks to Vince Mo for the pics, who has many more photographs available on his website.
