About Gang of Four
One of the most influential and groundbreaking bands to rise from the British punk scene in the late '70s, Gang of Four took the freedoms and possibilities presented by punk and brought them to wild and unexpected places, both musically and philosophically. Gang of Four's music fused tough funk rhythms, jagged shards of metallic guitar, and lyrics that filtered Marxist theory through the realities of daily life into a sound that bore little resemblance to any other group. The band folded in the mid-'80s, but periodically re-formed for touring and recording projects that kept their singular sound alive. Gang of Four's music was a key influence on a variety of musicians, while their lyrical tone and rejection of empty sloganeering informed many thoughtful post-punk groups.
