Last summer post-punk icons Gang Of Four played what was supposedly their farewell tour. Some farewells, however, end up being see-you-laters: It turns out Gang Of Four already have a few shows lined up for 2026, including a set at Wilco’s Solid Sound Festival. And now, they’ll have at least one brand new song they can play at those shows.
Gang Of Four released their new single “NO KINGS HERE!” last Friday, in conjunction with the latest anti-Trump No Kings Protest. The band hails from the UK, so they know a thing or two about living under monarchy: “Waiting for their savior when society’s on tilt/ Hoarding ammunition for the city on the hill,” Jon King — one of the few Kings we condone here — proclaims over a strutting melodic bass line. The track’s personnel also includes original Gang Of Four drummer Hugo Burnham, along with Ted Leo and Belly’s Gail Greenwood, both of whom joined the band for the farewell tour. Check out “NO KINGS HERE!” below.
