Blackout was a Swedish Neo Rockabilly group formed in 1991. The record 'Stop That Clock' was first released on vinyl and later on CD. Release year was 1993 on the Dutch label Tombstone Records (TOMB-CD 2013) by 'A Nightmare Production', Woerden, Holland. They performed on national TV, radio broadcasts and appeared on every big Rockabilly event in Sweden and Norway. They also released an EP with 4 songs on their own 'White-In Records' label.

In 1995 the band broke up since there was argueing about how many gigs they were supposed to have every month. Urban Axelsson quit playing, Olof Larsson continued with various dance music bands in Sweden as keyboardplayer. Kent Vikmo and Uno Eiving started a new band called 'Jack Baymoore & The Bandits' with members from another Swedish Rockabilly groups called 'Wildfire Willie And The Ramblers'. Uno left that band for another neo rockabilly outfit called Green Kryptonite.

LOADED GUN

Loaded Gun delivers its mellow fifties rock 'n' roll from Riihimaki, a small town in Southern Finland, just north of Helsinki.
Stylistically they follow the classic bloodline of the Gene Vincent - Buddy Holly - Robert Gordon Trinity, and blending it with their own brand of sweet notes.
The band was formed by vocalist Kimmo Sundberg and guitarist Aki Hallikainen, after they left their previous group Lost Weekend in 1999. The line-up has changed since our last update..
 Recent gigs (with 2 new band members) have been with Satellites, Fly Wheels, Housewreckers, Ellis Leslie and Sixpacks.
The tracks on this CD were recorded and mixed between 1999 and 2001
