Bloc Party got their big break when lead singer Kele Okereke passed a demo around to BBC DJ Steve Lamacq and musician Alex Kapranos. This bit of luck expedited their way to a record deal. Kapranos, now an internationally successful musician with his current band, started as a prolific multi-band member in the Glasgow music scene. His first group to record much music was The Blisters, who then changed their name to The Karelia, and released their only album Divorce at High Noon in 1997.
Here is the complete discography for The Karelia:
The Kazoo Collection (1994 compilation song as The Blisters)
