Bloc Party

Una de las bandas nuevas aparecidas últimamente, que ha cosechado gran éxito.
Después de su debut Silent Alarm, y de su versión de remixes. El día 6 de Febrero tendremos en las tiendas el nuevo trabajo, la prueba de fuego como se suele decir.
A mediados de noviembre ya se filtró en la red. Es album más tranquilo. Creo que en su puesta en escena es donde se verá hacia que lado van los Bloc Party.
Opiniones variadas: es lento pero es un disco de escuchar varias veces para acabar atrapando, no se les ha dejado suficiente tiempo a la banda para hacer lo que ellos quieren, ...
En Mayo estarán por España.


Alternative / Indie / Rock

London, United Kingdom

WEB

MySpace

Componentes:
Kele Okereke (guitar, vocals),
Russell Lissack (guitar),
Gordon Moakes (bass)
Matt Tong (drums).


Info recogida en su MySpace:

Friday, October 24th, 2003 was a big night. In a freezing, graffiti-scarred old factory called Electrowerkz in Islington, north London, Bloc Party showed what disco-punk sounds like if you take away the cowbells and irony, and replace them with ferocity and tension. In doing so, they proved they belong on a larger stage.

Kele Okereke and guitarist Russell Lissack knew each other through mutual friends in Essex where Kele went to school and Russell lived. They met again at the Reading Festival in 1999 and resolved to start a band together. They wrote together in bedrooms. For months. And months. Slowly, methodically, they got better. In early 2000 they posted an ad for a bass player in the NME, and through that they met Gordon Moakes. Three years and eight drummers later, the band finally came together when they met Matt Tong.

The rest of 2003 was spent building up their gigging muscles. By the time of the Elektrowerkz and Metro shows, Bloc Party were an intense live act.

Into 2004 and Bloc Party were on the march. Shes Hearing Voices, a rumbling, vaguely sinister song, was recorded in their cheap, moldy but special rehearsal space in Acton, west London. Paul Epworth produced their second single, the amphetamined ska-pop of Banquet (released in the UK on Moshi Moshi, and in the US on Dim Mak).

Bloc Party soon signed with Wichita UK, the little East London label with big ideas. They had a dark, brooding, often ferocious sound to scare the parents and remind older siblings of the artier end of New Wave. Melody and energy to inspire the moshpit.

Meanwhile, in July, as the headlines raged, the reviews raved and their third single Little Thoughts dived into the UKs Top 40, Bloc Party nipped off to Copenhagen with Paul Epworth. Destination: Deltalab Studios, home of Junior Senior (oh yes), retro Sixties/Seventies décor, and racks of malfunctioning vintage equipment. Purpose: 22 days to record 15 tracks. Problems: bare mains cables and a kit that wouldnt play ball.

The result of those 22 days in a raw, dangerous setting was Silent Alarm. The album title is taken from a New Scientist article about earthquake morning systems. The band liked the resonance, felt it fitted with the music. A warning, but an ambiguous one. Unrest. Tension. Energy.

Positive Tension is a case in point, a throbbing, techno-flavored epic with huge, Nirvana-style riffing. So Here We Are, a shimmering hit-in-waiting. Opening things, Like Eating Glass, a shouty, wire-y clarion call. Rounding things off, album finale Compliments, a more atmospheric, downbeat, intense track from this upbeat, agit-funk four-piece.

Lets go back a bit, to the ideas and manifestos. Sitting at the heart of Silent Alarm is Pioneers. So says the band, its a warning to those who think they can change the world. Not everyone can, hardly anyone does. Its about talking up your own limitations. Trying to break down the ridiculousness attached to rock bands. If were about anything were about that avoiding cliché, letting ideas stand for themselves.

Info por Sinnamon:
A primeros de 2005 se publicó el debut de Bloc Party, “Silent Alarm”, un disco plagado de singles que consiguió ventas estratosféricas en todo el mundo y demostró su capacidad para fundir post-rock y art-punk según las infinitas perspectivas del pop. Antes de que saliera a la venta el álbum, ya eran el grupo de moda en Londres gracias al boca oreja y a una demo que pasó por los mejores A&R de la ciudad y los llevó a ser encumbrados por las principales revistas. Mezclando el pop oscuro de The Cure y Joy Division, el estigma core de Sonic Youth y Big Black, y afiliándose a la vertiente politizada de Gang Of Four y Manic Street Preachers, Bloc Party conseguían sonar sofisticadamente estremecedores. No necesitaron más que sus canciones para ser considerados los líderes de la nueva revolución brit-pop. En sus temas se entrecruzaban estrofas intimidantes, dark-drama, y cómo no, el complejo sentimiento del amor. El fuego contenido en frías perlas como ‘Like Eating Glass’ o ‘Banquet’, estremecía gracias al vigor vocal de Kele Okereke, a las aristas de las sangrientas guitarras de Russell Lissack y a una contundente base rítmica comandada por Gordon Moakes (bajo, voz) y Matt Tong a la batería. Tres años más tarde, tras giras extenuantes y un exitoso álbum de remezclas, “Silent Alarm Remixed” (05), Bloc Party vienen dispuestos a revalidar título con su segundo disco, “A Weekend In The City”. Uno de los álbumes más esperados de 2007 y del que ya hemos podido escuchar un anticipo en formato single, ‘The Prayer’, con el que cumplen con las mejores expectativas. Apabullantes en el escenario, en directo Bloc Party logran convencernos de que en esto les va la vida.
