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

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

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.
