Bloc Party

In 2019, when Bloc Party performed 'Positive Tension' at the Zitadelle in Berlin, they were celebrating the legacy of their debut album, 'Silent Alarm,' released back in 2005. This live recording, capturing the raw energy of a seasoned band, reflects their ongoing commitment to the post-punk revival sound that first captured fans' hearts. Interestingly, they had been on a bit of a rollercoaster ride leading up to this performance, with their 2016 album 'HYMNS' showcasing a more experimental approach. Yet, in Berlin, the nostalgia and vigor for their earlier work shone through, reminding audiences why they’ve remained a vital force in the indie rock scene. Their experience and growth as artists were palpable, as they seamlessly blended new and classic sounds, underscoring their evolution while honoring their roots.
