Bloc Party

In February 2007, Bloc Party was riding high on the success of their sophomore album, "A Weekend in the City," which had been released just a few days earlier on January 29, 2007. This album was a notable step forward for the band, showcasing their evolution in sound with a more introspective and darker approach than their debut, "Silent Alarm." At the Bristol Academy, they delivered an electrifying performance of "Like Eating Glass," a fan favorite that highlights their knack for blending gritty guitar riffs with reflective lyrics. The energy in the venue was palpable, demonstrating the band's growing reputation as a live act. Interestingly, the performance captured a pivotal moment in their career, as they were solidifying their status within the indie rock scene, transitioning from a promising debut act to a prominent name in music.
