Bloc Party are an English indie rock band. In 2005, the band released their critically acclaimed debut album Silent Alarm. Their second studio album, A Weekend in the City was released on February 5, 2007 in the UK and February 6 in the US. Formation and rising popularity (1998–2004) Bloc Party have been together since 2002, with names such as Superheroes of BMX, The Angel Range, Diet, and Union, before settling on Bloc Party in September 2003. Band members Kele Okereke and Russell Lissack have formed the fulcrum of these various incarnations, and were subsequently joined by bassist Gordon Moakes who answered an advert in the NME, and most recently drummer Matt Tong.

The Pioneers Lyrics
Bloc Party
It's all under control
If it can be lost then it can be wonif it can be touched then it can be turned
All you need is time
We promised the world we'd tame itwhat were we hoping for?
A sense of purpose and a sense of skilla sense of function but a disregard
We will not be the firstwe won't
You said you were going to conquer new frontiers
Go stick your bloody head in the jaws of the beast
We promised the worldwe'd tame itwhat were we hoping for?
Breath inbreath out
So here we are reinventing the wheel
I'm shaking hands with a hurricane
It's a colour that I can't describe
It's a language I can't understand
Ambitiontearing out the heart of you
Carving lines into you
Dripping down the sides of you
We will not be the last.
