Not Bad Not Great

We've all heard something about Bloc Party. I saw one music video and thought "This isn't too shabby".

I was checking KCRW and the Morning Becomes Eclectic videos and of course they had a Bloc Party performance. I'm still listening to it and still it isn't too bad. They don't stray too far from the dance beat/post punk groups, each song definately has a instrumental section in it, lots of focus on guitar counterplay, it's all about the guitars really. I'm not crazy about the vocalist, but he isn't bad, just wish he sang a bit more, he trys to sing but ends up just talk singing. One distinction may be the band is usually rocking, upbeat and quick. Ohh snap the main guitarist just broke out harmonics that sound like police sirens, touche main guitarist, touche. You could dig them, even if they have crazy hype. I'm not crazy about them, but perhaps on a more attentive listen, they aren't bad though, but perhaps not great.
Here's the link to the performance.

The drummer is the asian looking one with glasses.
