QCA Music: Bloc Party

If you haven’t heard already, alternative indie band, Bloc Party (composed of 4 handsome and rocking Brit Twinks), has a gay frontman Kele Okereke who once won an award for Virgin Media’s Top 10 Bitchiest Popstars for quotes like the following:
“I think Oasis are the most over-rated and pernicious band of all time. They had a totally negative and dangerous impact upon the state of British music. They have made stupidity hip… Oasis are repetitive Luddites.”
and


”I was amazed when Jack White said it wasn’t his job to be critical about foreign policy because he was being paid to be an entertainer. Selling more records is the only thing that’s important to him, not provoking debate”
Bitchy or no, the handsome front man is definitely talented. The band’s about to release their third album (yet to be titled) and have recently released a video of the album’s first single, Mercury. In it, a Planet of the Apes group of scientists engineers a bull-lobster-human Frankenstein creature in a plan to “annihilate the modern world” and score mad bananas! The apes then send “Smith” off to the U.S., where he eventually becomes president and destroys the world. Nice!
