"Gotham!" is the second album by the dance-punk/post-punk revival band Radio 4

Released in 2002, Gotham! became mildly famous in underground club and dance scenes through the release of the single "Dance to the Underground". In a similar way to their 2000 debut, "The New Song & Dance", Gotham! was a critical success but not a strong commercial success. However, with their new angrier and more raw sound, the band escaped from critics that stated that Radio 4 were a carbon copy of The ClashFact|date=September 2008. Lyrically, the album has a large amount of strong political content, commenting on such things as the NYPD and differences in social class.
