Bloc Party
Apathy:
I listened to So Here We Are and couldn't help but think 'Lightening Seeds'.

I donno - to me they seem a little all over the place. Some of the tracks i've heard from them I really like (Here We Are, Little Thoughts & Banquet), but i've heard like 5 others where they're frankly a little off - i think the vocals are kinda out of tune with the music on them... i donno...
one thing that really pisses me off is that they're really being pushed through the system - like ALL the alt. radio stations/mags seem to play them up the wazoo...
oh well - they're not that bad really - i think they'll be supporting razorlight in march so i'll get to see how they are live. i reserve further judgement until then

Saying they're pushed through the system is shit, they've been working hard for years and are a really great band, they're just getting the recognition they deserve.
Alkatyl:
Calling Bloc Party's sound as a Indie meet's Post Punk sound is a rather innovative way of describing them. You can definately tell that their guitar and drum work has been heavily influenced by the Pixies, Sonic Youth and Joy Division, but it's just such a contemporary sound as well. They were such hot property in 2004 for the record labels.
Such a pity they didn't put some of their finer tracks onto the album. A few of their b-sides (The Answer and Tulips) are a hell of a lot better than some of their tracks on Silent Alarm.
Does anyone know which band member from Bloc Party has a stutter? I heard a decent 15 minute interview of the boys and (I think it's either Gordon or Russel) one of them had a quite profound stutter. Thanks if you answer this one for me.
