Friday 15th is the day for your diary. The debut album from Irish Alt Rockers BlockC hits streaming platforms that day.
Based in Dublin, Ireland BlockC are a 6 piece band bonded by a blend of ages , life experiences and a love of music. Their thought provoking kick-Ass music first saw light of day back in 2020 with the release of the “Heather Road ” E.P., which was a combination of styles and ideas that allowed the band to examine, develop and understand their own unique sound. https://open.spotify.com/artist/6RvkLqNbmTyIjG8hpolct2?si=7e788de0e4d04833
August 2025. BlockC Returns with “Stranger to Myself” A powerful new album that captures the emotional intensity of a world in flux.
Written and recorded by the band over 4 years, the album transforms uncertainty into a bold collection of songs that is anything but restrained. Rooted in BlockC’s signature rock sound, the album expands far beyond expectations. Each band member brings their own musical ideas forward to create a sonically rich and unpredictable listening experience. The result is a dynamic, deeply textured Prog-Rock Album that remains uniquely BlockC. Lyrically, the album explores themes of isolation, resilience, and personal rediscovery. While not a concept album in the traditional sense, a clear emotional arc emerges—charting a journey from confinement to catharsis. From Rock ballads to explosive guitar-driven anthems, BlockC’s latest work is both a reflection of the times and a reimagining of what music can become when artistic boundaries dissolve.
