... Take Blur, The Cure, Franz Ferdinand, (insert your favorite Brit-pop bands here), etc... Put them in a blender and crank that sucker full blast!! That's the best way to describe Bloc Party. High energy post-punk music that's not afraid to put it's guitar chops on display. Silent Alarm is the first album of 2005 that has really hit hard for me personaly. I hope these guys do well, they deserve it!
