Bloc Party

In the live recording from April 22, 2023, Bloc Party delivers an electrifying performance of their iconic track 'Banquet' at the Utilita Arena Birmingham, where they were supporting Paramore on their 'This Is Why' tour. This performance comes after the release of their album 'Alpha Games' in 2022, which marked a significant return to their post-punk roots, enlivening both old fans and new. The album has been praised for its energetic sound and introspective lyrics, capturing a moment in the band's evolution as they continue to evolve musically. Fun fact: 'Banquet' originally appeared on their debut album 'Silent Alarm,' solidifying Bloc Party's place in the early 2000s rock scene. This performance showcases how the band's energy remains undiminished, bridging the gap between their past hits and newer sounds.
