Great video, sums up the last 10 years of my life. Bloc party are the best band that there ever was, is and will ever be. Not a single day goes by that I don't listen to bloc party. Work home in the car or whatever else, bloc goes on. Also had Tulips as first dance song at my wedding. Don't think many weddings have had version 2.0 blared out amongst many other tracks
BLOC PARTY...what can I say about you...I first HATED your sound and everything about you and that's only because I was in a different place musically speaking but NOW don't know what music would really SOUND without you......I have your FOUR albums, soundtrack appearances, demos, singles, EP's, ALL the live recordings that I have been able to find, as well as KELE'S solo album and now because of this new material to hunt down.....you still resonate!!!!!!
BEYOND EPIC!! im a huge Bloc Party fans and this Silent Alarm was on heavy rotation during my senior high era. Im from Jakarta and Tahnk God i saw their gig once here in Jakarta and it was hell of an energic concert experience. Best!!
I loooove this band,it's my second favorite band,,A Weekend In The City is one of the best albums I have listened in my life,,I'm kinda sad because Matt and Gordon left but still want to know what is going to happen and how are they going to sound now
Thank you so much. This is genius and it's made me unbelievably emotional, Bloc Party have changed my life completely and this video has summarised exactly why they've done so. Thank you dude.
You get it! This is exactly what I was aiming for when making this Blocumentary. The most amazing band in the world, glad they've impacted your life like they have mine. Thanks for watching! x
Bloc Party Lyrics Hey, we're also fans of bloc party and we're actually playing with russell at a gig in south east london in may, could you check us out on facebook and maybe give our music a listen, we'd really appreciate it! facebook.com/RivuletOfficial
That was lovely and an enjoyable experience to watch :) haha, when The Healing came up I thought there was going to be live video of it XD (I really wish they had played it during a livestream :< ). I had the same question, wondering about the leftover footage of recording Four. I feel it's a shame that Matt never got around to putting it together. I honestly wish they did. I figure they still could. It would make for a pretty cool special edition release. In sort of the similar style like that of the 2008 live and intimate special edition. A lot of these interviews were a delight to watch. I still think 2005 Pinkpop stands out the best for interviews though. There were perhaps other things that could have been covered, but that would have required a whole lot more research and the scale gets ridiculous at that point. Though I like this documentary overall for being a nice small splash jump into Bloc Party. Bonus also for fellow Bloc heads to get where most of the interviews and live plays are from. And beautiful of course to end on The Present :), I know it's your favorite and it means quite a lot to you. Cheers for making this ^^.
Thank you very much! I was really iffy on putting people's own footage on this cos I'd need their permission.. Haha the fact that I actually put a release date on this made me rush things a bit, but many stones left unturned, yes! :/ The Present is the best! Thanks so much for watching. x :-)
thanks so much for making this video. This was the first band I truly truly loved, as well as the first one that got me listening to "real music." peace

It's official new album on the works but also no more Gordon and Matt :( I was so looking forward for a 10 year something from them but not this. Sigh, thanks for the video! To the 4 you guys are great! Just know that we love and thank you for inspirational music! :)
+Myles Mayers There had been turmoil for quite a while (heck, they didn't go into hiatus in 2009 for nothing), Matt didn't even finish the Four tour, and apparently, as time went on, Bloc Party became the "Kele show", pretty much. Apparently Gordon didn't always agree on the musical direction, and maybe so did Matt. Great video, @Bloc Party Lyrics :)
such a very awesome band :D i follow them for 3 years, and my favorites albums are Silent Alarm (Classic BP) and Four (With a little sound of Metal *-*) i am metalhead, for that i really like so much Four :3 I hope they release an another album u.u

I suppose that if the rumor is true, that already do not get along , would seem them as the last album, we decided to deliver the best and the biggest gem they have, LOST SONGS , if they have had the opportunity to hear these songs 4 minutes, know what he spoke, it's impossible, but I would love if I have in my collection and I hope that these songs have more BLOC PARTY. for us
American Kids, a demo they released under the name Union. There's a rare live version and a one minute sample of the studio version, both should be here on TH-cam!
Erik Esquivel Jai Castellanos Super late on this, but sorry about the mix up! It's American Kids, from the minute long studio preview that was released a long time ago..

This band has changed my life. Such an inspiration. Despite the recent changes, still the best band in the world.

like many people have said, this is a special video, for a special band.
its what it is and nothing more.
Great choice for the ending song; perhaps the most underrated Bloc Party song ever. Lovely job on the video, long live Bloc Party!
Great catch! Had to sneak my favorite Bloc Party song in there somehow! Thanks for watching. x
the present
I loooove this band,it's my second favorite band,,A Weekend In The City is one of the best albums I have listened in my life,,I'm kinda sad because Matt and Gordon left but still want to know what is going to happen and how are they going to sound now
This is incredibly bittersweet knowing that they might not get back, and if they do, it would be without Matt.
This is absolutely brilliant! I'm sure Matt will see this!
Best band in the world!
Thanks for compiling this!
The very best! Thanks for watching. x

The Present is the best!
Thanks so much for watching. x :-)
I've never seen the footage at the start. Cool!
Had to do some digging around, as Silent Alarm era Bloc Party was probably the most interesting and ideological. Glad you enjoyed it!

Why did matt and gordon leave?
