Gang of four and the cars: Classic bands with new records

Tim Andrews · 05-02-2011, 09:28 PM

Two hugely influential punk bands have new releases this year. Gang of Four's "You'll Never Pay for the Farm" has seen great reviews. Personally I listened to it and I feel it is a good add to their catalog. Production is almost better than ever.

The Cars' new one Move Like This has some cool stuff as well. Songwriting seems a bit more serious. Their approach is pretty genuine with the group not having put out a record in like decades! Good to see they can still make music together.

Ya'll like these new ones?

I'm kind of hesitant getting the new Gang of Four, I don't think anything will ever be able to top Entertainment! for me. I might have to try it now though.

I wouldn't call either band punk, but I do like both a lot so I'd be curious to hear the two albums.

Gang of Four is post-punk though?

That's what I'd call them.

For Sure! The Cars are a bit new wave...

Post-punk's close enough for me, really.

Andy Gill is such a noxious twat though, I don't even know if I want to hear the new album. His twitter poisoned me against him and GoF

He is an awesome producer though... What did he say on his twatter?

Gang of Four is great. The Cars, besides the self-titled album have contributed nothing of value though.

The Cars also never released anything remotely punk.
