Bloc Party US label?

[informerx]

I'm trying to figure out who Bloc Party is signed to here in the states. V2 has them on their U.K. roster but not here in the states? Anyone know what the deal is? Did their album even get any promotion here or was it just put out by some indie label?

Vice Records.

Is it a long term deal or just one of those one album deals before the band signs to a major and blows up!

Warner distributed the record through Vice Records.
same situation with The Streets albums.

Ah I see. I don't understand why V2 would sign them everywhere else but didn't add them to their US roster.
