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, Dub and Krautrock in the mix, the band create a truly unique live experience. They've been affectionately described as 'Rage Against The Machine on Acid' and have been creating quite a stir 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, The Black Bloc's "Ferocious, seriously tight and relentless" shows are not to be missed. The Band are currently taking a short break from touring to put the finishing touches to a new batch of songs, in preparation for recording Spring 2010.
