Bloc Party

Within the spare and lean tendencies of British traditionalists, Bloc Party, can be heard the winsome and soaring early '80s hair pop of Flock of Seagulls -but stripped of synths and strings for a more visceral and directly emotional effect. You could also say their approach is more "raw" than the highly produced MTV fodder of 20-plus years ago, if by raw you mean raw like $100-dollar-a-plate sushi. Bloc Party's songs have been cut by a very sharp knife as heard on their 2007 release A Weekend in the City.
