Bloc Party returns after a self-imposed hiatus with a true blue rock album. WATCH THE REVIEW

Remember last year, when Kele Okereke , Bloc Party ’s lead singer, thought he was kicked out of the band in apropos of nothing but wild speculation? The weirdest part of that whole event is how the band then felt divided into Kele versus the rest of the band, making the inner-workings of Bloc Party seem perpetually on edge. After 2008’s Intimacy , Kele took time to explore a solo career, leaving his band to wonder when they might start making music again. The awkwardness [...]

Listening to Bloc Party's Four is like sitting through a two hour film only to realize that all of the funniest parts were shown in the thirty-second preview.

Well it has been a long time coming, and it’s probably felt like a hell of a lot longer to die hard fans, but finally we can say that BLOC PARTY 's new album, Four , drops tomorrow. There has been an enormous amount of hype surrounding the release of this, their fourth full length, ever since the band announced they were coming out of hiatus and then released 'Octopus' + a RAC Remix . But as [...]

Bloc Party, in support of their highly anticipated album FOUR, coming August 21st on Frenchkiss Records, are wrapping up a three-night sold-out run at NYC’s Terminal 5 this evening. Bowery Presents Live streamed last night’s show in full HD glory, giving the band’s global fans a chance to experience the ...

Retaining more sense in their production approach than having an argument or a debate with a gormless idiot and letting them bring you down to their stupefied standard, Florida’s SLDGHMR sustain a beatdown of bass-jacked propels and sucked out drives across chopped up funky licks / soulful kisses. Corey & Antonio  “SLDGHMR” feel the power. BLOC PARTY - Octopus (SLDGHMR Remix)

Bloc Party are back with their second listen from their upcoming album Four. We already got to hear 'Octopus' and now we get to hear new track 'Day Four' which brings to mind the bands earlier days. The song deserves your time while listening and it is one of those songs that you will reach for the repeat button, as it builds with each listen. The new album Four will be released on August 21st via Frenchkiss Records .

After the weird Bloc Party-trying-to-remember-how-t o-be-Bloc-Party track 'Octopus' earlier this month, it's nice to hear them sounding a little healthier with 'Day Four'. It's a slow-burner with no obvious chorus, but sounds like it would fit in nicely on Weekend In The City; at one stage Kele even sings: "The city [Read more]

After their last album Intimacy was met with only a scant amount of praise, there were a lot of people who were skeptical going into this new album and whether Bloc Party could rekindle their flame of old. After their first track "Octopus" dropped, however, the excitement around the track was huge. New fans were made, old fans were back in the game, and die-hard fans were overjoyed. Today they gave us "Day Four" , the second new track [...]

It's been a long while since we've heard any music from Bloc Party. For a while we wondered whether we would ever get to hear anything from them again. But, here they are with their first piece of new music since 20082s Intimacy . 'Octopus' is the first single from their new album Four , which will be released in August, and it's markedly different from the dancier, electrofied band that left us in 2009. This sounds far more like their earler, Silent Alarm -era work than we expected. We're currently trying to [...]

Hey boys and girls, here's a funky new indie remix of Bloc Party's Octopus by none other than the Remix Artists Collective or RAC . We have posted quite a few tracks by RAC , original mixes and remixes, and we have been quite impressed. Bloc Party's   vocalist sounds a bit like The Killers , but that's definitely not a bad thing. This fast paced electronic jam will get your head bobbing and we always like that. Give it a listen. Don't forget the tissues, because your ears could get [...]

While we shared Bloc Party ’s return single, “Octopus”, with you late last week, the band has now put out a video for said song. This features a lot of hypnotizing effects in a cozy warehouse spot. Really, I’m just so ecstatic that all 4 members are playing together again. Also be sure to check out RAC’ s fantastic house remix of the song here . Bloc Party - “Octopus”

"Octopus" by Bloc Party, the first single from the band's new album Four available now on iTunes: http://smarturl.it/bloctopus . Also, here's the pretty awesome RAC remix of the track.

Now this is how you do a remix. Bloc Party is coming back late August with a new album called Four and Octopus is their first single. The original has the band doing what they do best: a healthy mix of neo-punk and singer/songwriter poetics. Personally, it's great to hear a band stick to their guns and not change their whole image with each album. Bloc Party has made a name for themselves with their sound, why fix something that's not broken? Okay - perhaps that's going out on a limb 'cause [...]

The turnaround time here is outrageous. Bloc Party released "Octopus" no less than a week ago - with the official video hitting the airwaves yesterday - and RAC's already got their remix signed, sealed and delivered. I guess inspiration struck quickly? Either way, hit it below and add it to your library. Download: Bloc Party - Octopus (RAC Remix) Tweet

Will they, won't they reunite? Have they kicked Kele out yet? Will they go electro and take their shirt off? Well, turns out the last two parts aren't true, as Bloc Party show off new video "Octopus" from their forthcoming album 'Four'. continue reading >>

They're back. After the hiatus, the side-projects and the tantalising trailer they posted last month, Bloc Party [ Twitter / Facebook ] officially made their return last night. The first single from their fourth album, announced as the rather literally-minded  Four  last month, will be familiar to those who have been keeping up , but the studio version of  Octopus  (out August 13th) appeared online after its Radio 1 premiere (with added video, of course; the clip is below), and it sounds like a return to the band's guitar-centric roots. Indeed, the stuttering riff that the song [...]
