Overview Edit

"Banquet" is a single from British band Bloc Party's debut album Silent Alarm. It was released in the United Kingdom by Wichita Recordings on 25 April 2005. It was their first single to chart on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks where it came in at number 34 and is often credited as their breakthrough single in North America. It is written in G-flat major, an unconventional key signature for songs of such a genre. It was also featured in the song "Bloc Party" on the Fort Minor Mixtape: We Major. It was #31 in NME's top 100 tracks of the decade, and was number 54 in Triple J's Hottest 100 of all time. It peaked at #13 on the UK singles chart.
