Radio 4 - The New Song And Dance

Review by Brittany McDonald

Radio 4's album The New Song and Dance is a delightful blend of post-punk, new wave, and dance-punk. The album is a reflection of the band's evolution from their earlier sound and showcases their maturity as musicians. The album's opening track, "Party Crashers," sets the tone for the rest of the album with its catchy guitar riffs and driving rhythm section. The songs on the album are politically charged and socially relevant, with lyrics that touch on topics such as war, immigration, and the environment. The album's standout tracks include "Nation," "Enemies Like This," and "Packing Things Up On The Scene." The band's use of electronic elements adds an extra layer of complexity to the songs and creates a unique sound that is both danceable and thought-provoking. The New Song and Dance is a solid album that showcases Radio 4's growth as a band and their ability to create music that is both socially conscious and sonically engaging.
