"Love will get you like a case of anthrax and that's something I don't want to catch"


Delivering dance-driven dub guitar coupled with tongue-in-cheek political satire, Gang of Four implemented ideas that continue to define present-wave, underground music.

For fans of contemporary dance music ala "The Rapture" and "The Feint", the echoes priciples that currently ride the airwaves are derivations of the classic 1979 Gang of Four album "Entertainment".

The lyrical content of "Entertainment" address themes and terminology that may as well be scoured off of your most recent Political Science review guide. . They were, in fact, the first openly socialistic band to be signed by Warner Brothers records. Accordingly, the "quintessentially British" wit scours the leftist fancies of 1970s British socialism and thus became the target of frequent BBC bans during the "Northern Troubles" in Northern Ireland as well as the Falklands conflict with Argentina.

For condescending conservatism expressing sincere liberalism, all signs must lead to Gang of Four.
