Bloc Party

In July 2005, Bloc Party delivered a spirited performance of 'Like Eating Glass' during the MTV Campus Invasion at Giessen University, Germany. This was a pivotal moment in their trajectory, as it took place shortly after the release of their debut album, 'Silent Alarm,' which had hit the airwaves in February of the same year. 'Silent Alarm' was a critical success, known for its infectious energy and clever lyricism, helping to establish Bloc Party as a prominent force in the post-punk revival scene. This live recording captures the raw intensity and excitement that surrounded the band at that time, showcasing their ability to energize a crowd. Interestingly, 'Like Eating Glass' was one of the standout tracks from the album, and this performance highlights the band's knack for blending emotional depth with high-octane beats, perfectly encapsulating the essence of their early sound.
