Gang of Four C O N T E N T

When Gang of Four, the U.K. o.g.'s of post-punk/punk-funk, reunited and began playing live again in the mid 2000s, old fans and recent coverts alike had cause for celebration. When the band re-recorded a batch of their classic tracks for Return The Gift shortly after, though, those same admirers cocked a skeptical eyebrow. Now the band's fans need grumble no more, however, because the Gang has assembled its first batch of new tunes in 16 years for CONTENT, answering post-punk prayers all across the globe.
