The Best in Town is the second album to by Welsh post-hardcore band The Blackout.

Background

In August 2008, vocalist Sean Smith said the band had written six new songs, and were aiming to record a new album later in the year. They were in the process of discussing with a few labels.[7] Following this, the group went on a UK tour in September and October,[8] with a handful of Christmas shows in December.[9]

Composition

The title for the song "I Love Myself And I Wanna Live" is a play on the title of the Nirvana song "I Hate Myself and Want to Die".

The song "Save Our Selves" came about the Blackout had an untitled song for the untitled new album in 2008. They were not happy with the way it sounded, but Producer Jason Perry thought it resembled a song of his own, which he had written with friend and former bandmate Dan P Carter, and was initially given to the band "Area" that they were both working with, it was titled "Robot". Both song ideas were put together to produce "Save Our Selves (The Warning)", which ended up being the band's most commercial single from the album.

Release

On 24 February 2009, it was announced that the band had signed to independent label Epitaph Records.[10] "ShutTheFuckUppercut" was first played on BBC Radio 1, where it was announced it would be released as a free download in April. This free download was actually offered for less than a week from 26 March but was released as a digital single from 30 March. "Children of the Night" was the album's lead single, and was played for the first time on Radio 1 on 13 April 2009. The music video was released on Wednesday 15 April on MTV's website. The studio recording features vocals from the Year 6 class of Herolgerrig Primary School, Merthyr Tydfil, where the band is from.[11] In late April, the group performed at Give it a Name festival.[12] In May, the group went on a headlining UK tour.[13] The Best in Town was released on 25 May in Europe and 23 June in the US.[14] The track listing for the entire album was released by the band via their Myspace blog.[15]
