about

Written and Recorded during the first months of lockdown, La Peste is the 2nd album by Western Bloc, following the debut, released in February 2020, the core of this album is experimental song structures, guitars heavily influenced by Charles Bullen (This Heat, Lifetones), a post-punk vibe, and lyrics that delve into suicide, revolution, the rise of fascism, and the precarious state of mind of living through a pandemic.

All compositions/Instruments/Programming - Barry James McCarthy
Recorded in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, between March and June 2020

The album was produced and mixed by Barry James McCarthy (Ex-Soundslab, Military Grade Peace) in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
