"The New Song and Dance" is the debut album of dance-punk/post-punk revival band Radio 4

The album was released under low-budget circumstances in 2000, making for a messy but angry and fast sound. The New Song and Dance became mildly successful with critics, who likened the album's sound to that of The Clash [ [http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:hbfuxqrkldke allmusic ((( The New Song and Dance > Overview ))) ] ] .
