Bloc Party Storms Across America

British Post-Punkers' Bloc Party played 5 shows in 4 days at South X Southwest, and unlease their highly anticipated debut L.P. in stores now. They share the Vice Records label with the Stills. Even Pitchfork has given the album 8.9. No album has gotten this kind of buzz since Interpol's debut "Turn on The Bright Lights." They capture the high energy of New Wave Dance Punk, like the first time you heard "Girls on Film" by Duran Duran, The Pixes, Wire, Adorable, early Cure, and the retro intensity of Franz Ferdinand, Interpol, The Bravery and the Futureheads. www.blocparty.com
