Bloc Party - Site officiel du groupe de rock britanique
Bloc Party est un groupe de rock britannique qui s'est formé en 2002.
Membres :Kele Okereke : Chant, guitare
Russell Lissack : Guitare
Gordon Moakes : Basse, chœurs
Matt Tong : Batterie, chœurs
Le groupe se fait connaître fin 2004 par deux EPs successifs (Bloc Party EP et Little Thoughts EP) qui font fureur dans les boîtes britanniques et européennes grâce à un punk rock d'un nouveau genre. Le groupe sort son premier album Silent Alarm en février 2005, qui est aussitôt acclamé par la critique bien que le premier titre "Helicopter" soit un complet plagiat d'une chanson des Jam : "Set the House Ablaze". La façon dont Kele Okereke (qui est d'origine nigériane) chante fait penser certains à Robert Smith de The Cure, alors que d'autres ne voient aucune similitude entre les deux chanteurs. Le groupe appartient à la mouvance musicale nostalgique de la New wave britannique des années 80 qui émerge en ce milieu des années 2000 avec des groupes comme Franz Ferdinand, Maxïmo Park, ou The Bravery. En juillet 2005 le groupe enregistre pour le projet caritatif Help-A day in the life une chanson inédite, The Present. D'autres chansons inédites sont enregistrés par le groupe : The Tulips, American Kids, Storm & Stress, This is not a competition et Always New Depths. En Janvier 2007 sort le nouveau single intitulé The Prayer disponible sur l'album A Weekend in The City. Ce dernier entre directement 10eme des charts francaises.
En Novembre prochain, sortira le nouveau single Flux avec un son nettement plus électro. Cette chanson n'est pas inclue dans le dernier album.
