Album Notes & Community Reviews

The debut album by Brooklyn trio Radio 4, named for the Public Image Ltd song, 'The New Song and Dance' rebuilds post-punk from dancefloor components: Anthony Roman's bass and vocals, Tommy Williams's guitar and Greg Collins's drums locked into Gang of Four-derived grooves. Produced by Tim O'Heir, it is a foundational document of the post-punk revival's dance-punk wing.
