Their debut album "Lead me not into Penn Station" which was recently released has made many people take notice. Their sound ranges from those of Bob Dylan, Beck, Nick Cave, Lou Reed, Jonathan Richman, and even the Kingston Trio with electric Guitars. While the influences are familiar, it is unique to them, and very likable.
If you're looking for a group that doesn't have an 'MTV' stamp of approval all over them, and one that still has enough of a mind that they don't have to follow a major producers say-so, then Block might just be the thing for you. They have songs on the current album which range from Rock to slow folk. Their lyrics hold meaning, and don't just sound good with each other.
Verdict: Check 'em out, play a few games of pool and have a fun evening.
