Bloc Party (well, Kele Okereke and, briefly, Russell Lissack) join up with Paul Epworth and discuss the creation of iconic hit "Banquet".
In the video Kele and Epworth discuss the elements of the track, with the former regailing us with his influences, both both clandestine and overt. They include the book Confessions Of A Flesh Eater, Blur, New Order's "Blue Monday", Pixies "Bleed" and Adam Ant.
