Already a hit in the UK, France and the American underground, it's only a matter of time before the mainstream latches onto Bloc Party in a big way. Their debut album, "Silent Alarm," is a refreshing blast of guitar rock with loads of hooks and riffs delivered in an urgent manner.
The song "Helicopter" is an instant alternative classic with its early XTC melodic approach and slightly dark tone a la The Cure.
What Franz Ferdinand was to alternative music in 2004, Bloc Party may become in 2005.
