***This Town's Disaster*** is the first studio album by American [indie rock](/source/Indie_rock) band [Blackpool Lights](/source/Blackpool_Lights). Released in June 2006, it is the first album to be released on [Curb Appeal Records](/source/Curb_Appeal_Records), the indie record label co-founded and owned by the band's lead singer/guitarist [Jim Suptic](/source/Jim_Suptic). The album was recorded a year before its release in 2005, but could not be released until Curb Appeal was fully functional.

## Background

Much of the album was recorded in late spring/early summer 2005, during periods of time when lead singer/guitarist [Jim Suptic](/source/Jim_Suptic) was home in-between tour dates for the final tour of [The Get Up Kids](/source/The_Get_Up_Kids). The album was shelved, however, because the band intended for it to be the first release on [Curb Appeal Records](/source/Curb_Appeal_Records), the record label started by [Jim Suptic](/source/Jim_Suptic).[1] Once the label was up and running in mid-2006, the band released the album, gaining significant coverage from retailers such as [Best Buy](/source/Best_Buy).[2]
