More Info
Originally released in 2005, Silent Alarm marked a bold debut from Bloc Party and quickly became a landmark album of 2000s British Indie Rock. From “Helicopter” to “Banquet” to “This Modern Love,” Silent Alarm helped define the sound of the 2000s and captured the tension and energy of a generation on the edge of change. Restless and immediate, it still resonates two decades on and remains one of the era’s most influential albums.
