By Gang of Four

post-punk, punk 40 min 12 tracks Sonopresse

No ratings yet

Entertainment! is the debut album by the English post-punk band Gang of Four. It was released in September 1979 by EMI Records internationally and Warner Bros. Records in North America. Stylistically, it draws heavily on punk rock but also incorporates the influence of funk, reggae and dub. Its lyrics and artwork reflected the band's left-wing political concerns. Entertainment! became a seminal album in the post-punk movement.
