Radio 4 is a band from Brooklyn who formed in 1999. They claim that their sound, which has been described as "danceable punk," is "made in New York, is about New York, and sounds like New York".
The band is a five-piece, comprising Anthony Roman (Vocals/Bass) (formerly of Garden Variety), David Milone (Vocals/Guitar), Gerard Garone (Keyboards), Greg Collins (Drums), and P.J. O'Connor (Percussion).
They cite a variety of influences, including Gang of Four, Mission of Burma, Primal Scream and Zero Zero, though their lively punk sound combined with their militant political stance inevitably draws a strong comparison with The Clash.
Their name comes from a Public Image Ltd. song from that group's second album.
