Black it Out (also known as BIO) is a dynamic duo fronted by Shaun Zizi (Sugar Shaun) and Bryan Underwood (BryGuy) that rose from the ashes of Scarlet’s Sonata. After many lineup changes and an 8-year hiatus, Black It Out returned to the scene due to their extreme passion for music with their comeback album, Resurgence in 2019.
Black It Out is a Pop-Punk/Emo band from Sacramento, California and is described as having “. . .catchy, stuck-in-your-head harmonized guitar riffs and lyrics that just make you want to sing along,” by Phil M, booking manager of Shanghai in Folsom, CA. Black It Out, while taking influences from Blink-182 and Sum 41 to heavier acts like A Day to Remember and Senses Fail, they stand out from other scene bands due to their memorable melodies, catchy guitar riffs, and fun lyrics about culturally relevant topics.
Black It Out’s songs have been played on the radio all over the world, appearing on KRXQ 98 Rock, Alyx Plays Punk, and Squatch In The Pit, to name a few. They even shared the stage with notable national acts like Mozart Season and Heartshed. Black It Out released their critically acclaimed If Looks Could Kill EP in 2021 and was described by Punk.Stance as “With memorable, harmonised guitar riffs and an emotive vocal performance, this EP is a return to form for the band, taking a punt at anything from classic punk rock to modern hardcore.” “Live, Laugh, Love” coming in May 2022 features prolific and controversial Pop-Punk Super Star, Anndy Negative. Black It Out is working hard for you to notice them and make their mark on the music scene, so be sure to follow Black It Out to hear their latest single!

Black It Out released “Live, Laugh, Love” with CTRL+Space’s Pop-Punk Halloween Song of the Year for 2021 recipient and was a guest on Anthony Fantano’s YouTube show, Anndy Negative. “Live, Laugh, Love” is about people that we all sometimes encounter in the wild, but for sure have seen on the internet, The Karen. Karens can be male or female and have the same thing in common: They’re easy to anger and even quicker to demand the manager.
Anndy Negative released an upbeat track called “I Won’t Give Up” based on his experiences with dealing with TikTok Karens. The pissed-off TikTokers were upset about his “When We Were Young” single. Black It Out felt that many of the negative comments over his song were unwarranted and reminded them of Karens in a store demanding that someone who upset them be removed from the store. So, Black It Out quickly wrote “Live, Laugh, Love” and asked Anndy Negative to be the feature on it. You could hear the rest!
