Bloc Party -

Reared on a diet of pop culture and good music, Bloc Party's Kele Okereke, Russell Lissack , Gordon Moakes and Matt Tong met through the small ads of the music press to create a band who now make the headlines. Ask them their influences, and they say they've been influenced by it all. Live, Bloc Party '...rip through new classics...like they’ve written them 20 minutes before the gig - the ferocity and adrenaline of youth shines through the angular rhythms and layers of effects.' (bbc.co.uk) They also play regular DJ slots up and down the country.
