List of songs recorded by Bloc Party
The English indie rock band Bloc Party has recorded 125 songs to date during its quarter-century career. The band has recorded six studio albums, spanning from Silent Alarm (2005) up to its most recent, 2022's Alpha Games. They have also released four extended plays, spanning from Bloc Party (2004) to The High Life (2023). Bloc Party is known for its prolific recording output throughout 2004 to 2007 and their subsequent fondness for bonus tracks and B-sides;[1] approximately a quarter of the band's recordings cannot be found on a standard release album or EP.
Songs released by the original quartet of Kele Okereke, Russell Lissack, Gordon Moakes and Matt Tong are credited simply to "Bloc Party"; this practice concluded following that lineup's final release, 2013's The Nextwave Sessions.[2] Future releases credit each of the individual songwriters, including Louise Bartle, Justin Harris, Daniel Pugsley and Harry Deacon.
