BlockC

Latest updates:
BlockC recently played their first gig in Bruxelles Rock Bar, Dublin in October 2022. The gig went down really well, the bands family and friends were in attendance to cheer them on and they even had random people walking by and coming in off the street to listen!

Then a month later, from one extreme to another, BlockC played the Hard Rock Hell 15 festival in Great Yarmouth, UK on 4th November 2022 with headliners such as The Darkness, Skid Row and Ugly Kid Joe!
The crowd that came to see the BlockC performance on Stage 2 topped well over 500 people.

Here is the review quote of our performance at the festival from the Hard Rock Hell magazine:

"Irish six-piece BlockC took over on the second stage with their intricately crafted tunes and memorable hooks. Throughout the set, the talent of these musicians shone through as they changed both instruments and positions. The various influences on the band merged wonderfully, producing an engaging and unique sound. The guitar solos, in particular, are epic in scope, but everyone on the stage performed seamlessly to craft a highly polished show."

BlockC also enjoy lots of radio play in the UK on Hard Rock Hell radio which gets thousands of listeners every week.

BlockC is currently working on their first full album which will be released later in 2024.

The band got immense feedback from many other artists and the general public at the three day festival and have since been booked to play Hard Rock Hell 17 in November 2024.

Bio:
Based in Dublin, Ireland, BlockC is an alternative rock band made up of 6 talented musicians who formed while working together. Bonded by a blend of ages, life experiences and love of music – this gang have set out to achieve nothing more than creating satisfying, thought provoking, technically pleasing, kick-ass music!

Formed back in 2018 – BlockC started as a group of work friends deciding to meet up for a few jamming sessions. What began as a bit of fun and stress relief, messing with some well known cover songs and band favourites, it quickly became clear that there was so much more potential to achieve some bigger and better things. The name BlockC has a personal meaning to the band as it is the area where the guys first met and worked together. Not only that but it was the first place they all bonded over a love of music. This band’s story started after a few sessions sparked inspiration and creativity to develop their own sound.

Heather Road is the bands trail blazing first release to the public. A combination of months of work has produced a unique, satisfying and self-proclaimed fun EP. A journey that started in Feedback studio at Heather Road, ended in a week long recording session in Westport where the whole EP was recorded.
The EP is a combination of different styles and ideas which came about as the band looked to understand and create their own unique sound. Each song brings in the personality of each of the band members.
