Of all the bands to reform, the Gang of Four´s songs are probably the most relevant and indeed needed, given the lack of political articulacy amongst younger musicians. This and their first album is as close as can be to the soundtrack to the Occupy Wall Street protests, whether the protesters are aware of the band or not. If you´re connected to this kind of stuff dig the lyrics out from somewhere if you don´t know them - they are astonishing.
