ARTIST MAINARTIST INFORELATED ARTISTSLINKSREVIEWS

Named after a P.I.L. song, Radio 4 revives the late-'70s/early-'80s post-punk of bands like Gang of Four, Mission of Burma, and P.I.L. by matching scratchy guitar riffs with danceable grooves. The band was formed in 1999 in New York City by bassist Anthony Roman, guitarist Tommy Williams, drummer Greg Collins, percussionist P.J. O'Connor, and keyboardist Gerard Garone, and quickly recorded a three-song EP for New Jersey's Gern Blandsten label.

VINYL FORMAT. Radio 4 return with their sophomore album, "Gotham." While sticking with the melodic sensibility that made their debut, "New Song and Dance," a favorite among fans of anthemic post-punk, the band find themselves with a far more rhythmically aware record, ready-made for dance floors or basements. The band urges you to snap out of the '90s-boom-years-daze and realize that everything is not all right, all to the sound of loping bass lines, scratchy guitars and throbbing beats.

VINYL FORMAT. "Do your life justice." Those are the words at the end of the song "Nation," the cornerstone of Radio 4's third album, "Stealing of a Nation."

With "Stealing of a Nation," the follow-up to 2002's highly-acclaimed "Gotham!," that's precisely what they do. Produced by Max Heyes (Doves, Primal Scream) and recorded in R   [ read more ]

Straight out of Brooklyn, NY, the sophomore offering from Radio 4 is more of the same, but the same is pretty amazing. The group draws constant comparisons to Gang of Four, Mission of Burma, and the Clash, all of which are merited, but that doesn't change the fact that their mildly derisive sound is pulled off with impeccable taste and well-realized songwriting. In title and subject matter, Gotham! is a tribute to the pre-9/11 New York City -- a celebration of the people and the parties, and    [ read more ]
