Gang of Four was a British rock band originating from Leeds, England. They were fully active from 1977 to 1984, and then re-emerged for a while in the 1990s. They entered the British Top 40 only once with the At Home He's A Tourist single in 1979. They played a stripped down mix of early punk and funk music; with a strong emphasis on the social and political ills in society. The group influenced a number of successful funk-tinged alternative rock acts throughout the 80's and 90's, although few of their followers were as arty or political.
