Hi Guys
Quick change to what you get when you initially pledge. Basically we thought it was a bit much to ask for you to pledge again to get your name on the album artwork when you’ve already pledged to help us get this album recorded. So from now on the initial pledge of £8, as well as the free…

nimues-desire asked: I would love to pledge, but i run out of money. Now i have to wait till next month coz I only have PayPal. What happens if the pledge is already 100%? Does it mean I can't pledge anymore?

amazingly-strange-deactivated20 asked: Just a few questions:
1) What sort of size are you looking for?
2) For those of us who can't draw, are we allowed to use existing images? (i.e. the pro ones)
3) Because I can't remember, do we know what font The Blackout use? (again, for those of us stuck with what we can do via Photoshop)
Sorry to be a pain, just want to check before I start...

Remember rule 4?
4) Elitism is banned from the Riot Squad. No fan is better than another. How many times you have seen/met The Blackout, how many miles you have travelled, how long you have been a fan and how much merchandise you own are irrelevant to anything. This is not a competition. All fans are equal.
And when we say all fans, we mean all fans, regardless of differences in music taste, age or pretty much...

Dear Riotsquad
It has come to our attention that there are ALOT of nasty rumors flying around about fans wanting to attack/abuse other fans. this needs to stop, nothing has ever been said about wanting to “burn somebody” for wearing a you me at six hoodie? people can like whatever bands they want, and you me at six are an awesome band! so i dont understand why why people would think anybody in the...
DSTRYR!DSTRYR!: Please just...stop. →
I don’t like how this is all turning out.
Some girl genuinely thinks the Riot Sqaud want to attack her/her friend for wearing YMAS hoodies because members had threatened to do so.
Another is now hunting down one of the girl’s from the twitter incident’s home address to attack them.
STOP.
We… Everybody please stop with the fighting & everything the blackout bought us all together...
GO GO GO.
lets make this scrapbook, the best thing the band have EVER been given :’)
This.
This is for all fans of the blackout - as you know, they’re touring in december with you me at six, and i’ve seen it a few times before (with bands like BMTH, The Summer Set, etc) where they make a scrapbook for the band and give it to them on tour. I’d love to do one for The Blackout and give it to them on their tour with You Me At Six. The Blackout have AMAZING fans, as you...
This is an idea, from a fan.
