Gang of Four

Gang of Four is an English post-punk band formed in Leeds in 1976 by Jon King, Andy Gill, Hugo Burnham and Dave Allen. The group mixed jagged guitar, funk rhythms and political lyrics, and it is best known for its debut album Entertainment! (1979), which Rolling Stone placed fifth in a list of the greatest punk albums. Gang of Four's first single, "Damaged Goods", came out on Fast Product in 1978. Entertainment! followed on EMI, then Solid Gold (1981) and Songs of the Free (1982), the latter with Sara Lee on bass. After Burnham left, Gill, King and Lee made Hard (1983).
