Radio 4 - The New Song & Dance

New York City's RADIO 4 may not be affiliated with BBC radio, but there's no denying that they're serious Anglophiles. They obviously yearn for the heady days of British post-punk, when bands like Gang of Four, Wire, and PiL showed us you could dance to punk by infusing their nervous flanging aggression with catchy, often dub-derived rhythms. That's the cloth from which RADIO 4 is cut. Singers Anthony Roman (formerly of Garden Variety) and Tommy Williams offer nearly identical declamatory sandpaper-throated vocals that suggest they were classmates at the Joe Strummer school for aspiring rock singers. Even the group's lyrical sensibilities, which strike an aggressively left-wing social perspective, recall the above-mentioned bands, but do so from a distinctly modern perspective.
