Bloc Party @ Ritz, Manchester, 20/6/2012 for The Fly

Nine months ago, Bloc Party looked to be in crisis. Two years into an indefinite hiatus, and rumours of a communication breakdown within the band were spreading fast. We weren’t sure whether Kele, Russell, Gordon and Matt would stand in a room together again, let alone play live or record. So when Bloc Party announced a new album, ‘FOUR’, back in May, we had to wonder: what on earth is it going to sound like?
