Heard a few of their tunes.  "Banquet" is one of the best songs of heard lately. Can't wait for their LP coming out in March on Vice.

I think this should be a good show.  I'm in, got last year's EP and it's fun (possibly a tad like other gang-of-four wannabe bands these days, but worth checking out).  I haven't heard the album, though...

Yeah, I found those MP3s after I posted. The complete list of free MP3s is at http://blocparty.net/mp3.html
 
 Can't say I'm exactly blown away by any of the above MP3s, but I rather like the video. I might check them out.

These songs were b-sides and not their strongest material.  The album Silent Alarm is amazing though.  You may be pleasantly surprised.
 
 You should also check out a band called Something About Vampires & Sluts.  I think they're American, and sound very similar to Bloc Party, especially the singer.  Kind of like a young Robert Smith.
