Release Notes:
Bloc Party's own variation of spiky guitar rock draws on influences such as The
Cure, Gang of Four, The Smashing Pumpkins, Sonic Youth, Pixies, Joy Division,
and XTC, but the band says that some of these bands are just comparisons.
The drumming on Bloc Party songs is often influenced by the London dance and R&B
scene whilst the guitar demonstrates typical indie sharpness with alternative
panned chords and fast chord picking. To achieve their unique guitar style, BOSS
echo effects equipment is implemented and is particularly apparent on the track
"Like Eating Glass".
The musical style of A Weekend in the City is more varied, however, drawing
influence particularly from more expansive sounding bands, including Radiohead.
