Thirty-six years after they debuted their legendary album ‘Entertainment!’ (with legendary post punk tracks such as ‘Damaged Goods‘), Gang of Four are back with a new long player called ‘What Happens Next’. The Gang from Leeds, Britain no longer exists out of just four, because they decided to team up with the ultimate sexual rock icon from the 2000s, Alison Mosshart who forms indie rock band The Kills with Jamie Hince. The result is a bleary-eyed classic rock video in black and white featuring a catchy track and a fitting title ‘England’s In My Bones’, in which the band is placed in a vacant hotel room and encounters the dead and the living. The band’s ninth studio album will be released on March 2 in the UK through Membran. The LP will also have Alison VV Mosshart on other songs such as ‘Broken Talk’ and other guests such as Japanese guitarist Tomoyasu Hotei. Watch the video for ‘England’s In My Bones’ below.

The band plays a stripped-down mix of punk rock, funk and dub, with an emphasis on the social and political ills of society. Gang of Four are widely considered one of the leading bands of the late 1970s/early 1980s post-punk movement. Their later albums (Songs of the Free and Hard) found them softening some of their more jarring qualities, and drifting towards dance-punk and disco.
