In November 2003, Bloc Party had their track “The Marshals Are Dead” featured on a compilation CD called The New Cross released by Angular Recording Corporation.
Their debut album Silent Alarm, released in February 2005, was met with critical acclaim, being voted by NME critics as the 2005 album of the year, and reached #3 on UK album charts before being certified platinum in the UK. Further singles “Banquet” (which reached #13 in NME’s “Top 50 singles of 2005″), “Helicopter”, and “Pioneers” (July 2005), whilst failing to repeat this success, managed to reach the UK top 20. An album of remixes of tracks from Silent Alarm was released at the end of August in the UK. During July, Bloc Party recorded two new tracks (titles were given of “Hero” and “Two More Years”) with Silent Alarm producer Paul Epworth. The latter track was released on October 3 to coincide with their October 2005 UK tour. The track, entitled “Bloc Party”, appears on Green Lantern’s Fort Minor: We Major mixtape.
