Bloc Party are an English indie rock band, composed of Kele Okereke - vocals and rhythm guitar Russell Lissack - lead guitar Gordon Moakes - bass guitar Matt Tong - drums.
Chester Bennington - vocals Rob Bourdon - drums, percussion Brad Delson - guitar Dave Farrell aka "Phoenix" - bass guitar, Joe Hahn - keyboards, turntables, programming, samples Mike Shinoda - emcee, vocals, guitar (1996–present)
In February 2005, the band released their critically acclaimed debut album Silent Alarm, which the magazine NME later made their Album of the Year. Bloc Party's second studio album, A Weekend in the City was released on February 5, 2007 in the UK and February 6 in the US.
They achieved mainstream success with their debut album, Hybrid Theory, which was certified Diamond by the RIAA in 2005. Their following studio album, Meteora, continued the band's success, topping the Billboard 200’s album charts in 2003, and was followed by extensive touring and charity work around the world.

Recognized for their adaptation of the nu metal genre into a radio-friendly yet densely-layered style in Hybrid Theory and Meteora, the band moved away from this and explored a variety of other genres in their latest studio album, Minutes to Midnight.
I remember in the year 2000 when we were on our car trip to Merimbula, my sister made me listen to Linkin Park in the car - in hope to cure my boredom. What we both didn't know was that the band was yet to sell over 50 million albums.
