Next Big Thing Alert: Bloc Party

By far the best rock album I have heard yet this year, Bloc Party's debut album "Silent Alarm" due out 03.22.05 in the states is a classic in the making. It takes a lot for me to be impressed by a strait-up rock album, as I am partial to more electronic acts, but this British band has such a fresh sound it has been on repeat for the past 48 hours on my iPod. My favorite tracks are "This Mordern Love," "So Here We are" and "Compliments."
