With the big announcement yesterday, I decided to look back at Bloc Party’s music and how it literally shaped who and what I am today. I was 18, misguided, ever-confused and totally ready to have my eyes opened to the world. Their sound captured my youth, indulged my crazy bouts and told me that it was okay to be different. That there were people like me who felt the same and reacted the same. This is a love letter to four guys from London who made me the person I am today.
