Bloc Party - Hunting for Witches

Do you know this group? It's one of my current favourites. They obviously didn't spend much money on this video, but I hope you like the song. (Style: Indie/Britpop)




Lyrics:

Bloc Party - Hunting for Witches

I am sitting
On the roof of my house
With a shotgun
And a six pack of beer, six pack of beer, six pack of beer.

The newscaster says the enemy's among us
As bombs explode on the 30 bus,
Kill your middle class indecision,
Now is not the time for liberal thought,

So I go hunting for witches
I go hunting for witches
Heads are going to roll
I go hunting for...

90's, optimistic as a teen.
Now it's terror
Aeroplanes crash into towers, into towers, crash into towers.

The Daily Mail says the enemy's among us,
Taking our women and taking our jobs,
All reasonable thought is being drowned out
By the non-stop baying, baying, baying for blood

So I go hunting for witches
I go hunting for witches
Heads are going to roll
I go hunting for...

I was an ordinary man with ordinary desire
I watched TV; it informed me
I was an ordinary man with ordinary desire
There must be accountibility

Disparate and misinformed
Fear will keep us all in place

So I go hunting for witches
I go hunting for witches
Heads are going to roll
I go hunting for...

I was an ordinary man with ordinary desires
I watched TV and it formed me
I was an ordinary man with ordinary desires
There must be accountibility

Disparate and misinformed
Fear will keep us all in place.

Hi Jaume!

Thanks for your recommendations. I used to like Los Planetas years ago, when they released "Mi hermana pequeña" and later "Qué puedo hacer", but I didn't follow them after that.

Are they still going? Would you recommend their more recent stuff?

Yes, they are still playing. Their last work was "la leyenda del espacio (2007)". I recommend you these songs:

The singer, J, was also playing in another group called "Grupo de Expertos Solynieve":

I also recommend two groups of Vilanova: Tokyo sex destruction and Biscuit:
