The recently broken up Blackout Pact have posted two songs not from their sole full-length, Hello Sailor.
The first, also available for download, is "Thank You Betty Mortis," taken from their 2003 demo. They claim it is likely one of the first five songs they wrote as a band. The second is a brief, untitled collaboration with Thursday that was originally intended for that band's 2006 full-length, A City by the Light Divided. As some may recall, Thursday told MTV.com in January 2006 that they had approached several bands about collaborating, including the Blood Brothers, Converge, and Cursive. While it is not known which of those songs was actually recorded, this is the first to be made public. The Blackout Pact themselves had planned on expanding on this song and recording it for the followup to Hello Sailor. Both songs are available via the band's MySpace page.

They needed to do more touring with cool bands like Lawrence Arms. It seemed like every tour they were on was completely scenester garbage or disgusting over produced pop and their music fit neither category.

why isn't the second song downloadable and can anyone send me their album so i can save some money that i don't have?

the blackout pact was really fucking good. wisam, the drummer, was a cool dude who fucked up. i met him and he seemed very genuine. he realized he fucked up and handled the consequences. they wrote themselves an appropriate legacy, and hello sailor was a solid genuine piece of music. both guitarists left and the band seemed to lose something, so the way everything shaped up isn't completely bad for them. an awesome band awesome dudes, and stayed true. RIP

This is truly the sounds of the wires of the internet merging ap.net with punknews.org.

yeah, this pretty sweet for a demo. too many good bands broke up this year. I'm still pissed about The Letters Organize breaking up too.

I was so pissed when I heard they broke up. I never got the chance to see them. | Features

is this the band with the thief drummer? Did they open for the Lawrence Arms on a tour? Were they the pop punk one with the girl, or the xscenex looking ones?
