Reviews


Bloc Party (2008)


Mercury
Strong new single from Bloc Party, the first from their new 'Intimacy' album, which comes in several versions, but which is unfortunately ruined by an appalling set of remixes on its B-sides

Silent Alarm
Excellent debut album from the much acclaimed Bloc Party, which proves to be "a groovy post-punk album for the emo kids"

Helicopter
Excellent new single on the Wichita label from popular London-based art rockers Bloc Party, who have their debut album out at the beginning of next year

Lifted Or The Story Is In The Soil, Keep Your Ear To The Ground

Drunk On Light
Second album from the much-acclaimed Weevil, who have taken 1980's Kraftwerk-style anthems and given them a contemporary twist
