Founded In
London, England, United Kingdom
Blocko was a three-piece independent punk band from South London, UK. The band was audibly influenced by the mid-nineties UK melodic hardcore scene and bands such as Hooton 3 Car and Broccoli, with less overt references to the noisier end of America's second-wave emo (early Get Up Kids, Small Brown Bike), and the oft-touted progenitors of gruff sounding punk rock, Leatherface.
The band released the 'Oimo' EP and their self titled LP (often mistakenly named 'Edmonson Ave' due to a signpost on the front cover) , along with a few split singles and numerous compilation appearances before breaking up.
A discography double CD “South London Vs The World” was released by Boss Tuneage Records, featuring alternative mixes of their full-length plus various live recordings.
Singer/Songwriter Nij went on to form New Sets of Bruises
