Sounds LikeREVIEWS:

"Refreshing and bold 4.5 out of 5"
(Leeds Music Scene)

"That’s the Black Bloc...and that is one of the best sessions we have ever had...This show’s been going for seven years so I don’t say that kind of thing lightly, but that was absolutely brilliant!"
(Alan Raw - BBC Raw Talent)

"Awesome: Ferocious, seriously tight and relentless"
(Venue magazine)

"Fantastic live i really recommend it - go and see them!"
(Gary Smith - BBC Bristol Introducing)

"Stand out session for me? The Black Bloc in the summer. Some Sunday nights we all stop when the session's on. We put down what we're doing and just listen. This was one of those moments that stopped you in your tracks."
(BBC Raw Talent - The 2008 Review)

"A hidden gem in waiting"
(The Sunday Experience)

“Warmly endorsed by BBC Introducing”
(Tom Robinson - BBC Radio 6 Music)

(Noisebox)

“Great guitar riffs”
(Gigreviwer.com)

"Beautifully stark"
(Yorkshire Music Collective)

"Combining deep grooves psycheadelic guitar and powerful melodies to great effect."
(Halifax Evening Courier)

“Politically charged space-punk bursting with ambient hooks.”
(Translate Zine)

“Opening with a tight nervy funk and precision-sculpted feedback, it’s soon clear that they feature the most confident, inventive guitarist of the day and probably this writers most interesting recent band discovery too”
(Venue Magazine - The Bristol Festival 2009 Review)

“Northern Rockers with a lot to shout about.”
(Itchy Guide)

“Absolutely amazing”
(Stroud FM)

   About The Black Bloc


BIOG:

“Some Sunday nights we all stop when the session's on. We put down what we're doing and just listen. This was one of those moments that stopped you in your tracks…one of the best sessions we have ever had” (BBC Introducing)

The Black Bloc are a ferocious live act combining a curious hybrid of sounds; primarily rooted in all things Post-Punk, with shades of Electronica, Big beat, Hip Hop, Dub, Funk, Rock and Club Floor Indie in the mix, the band create a truly unique live experience. The boys have been affectionately described as ‘Rage Against The Machine on Acid’ and have been creating quite a stir around the North and South West of England over the last year.

Currently being championed by the BBC and The Joe Strummer Foundation for new music, plus having several major festival appearances already under their belt, including Glastonbury, Shambala and Wychwood festivals, The Black Bloc's "politically charged space-punk" (Translatezine) is not to be missed!
