   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, Krautrock, Funk 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!

The Band are currently taking a short break from touring to concentrate on finishing off a new batch of songs, in preparation for recording there second album, which is due for release in May 2010.
