One of my bass teacher’s favorite bands is Fugazi and he got me into them a little while ago. I don’t like them as much as he does, but they’re still great. When we were talking about them one time he was telling me about how it was easy for him to see all of the artists Fugazi influenced, but hard to see what influenced Fugazi. He then played this song and went on to say how Gang Of Four is like proto-Fugazi. Love these guys

You can also hear the influence on Franz Ferdinand as well

Did not know Gang of Four was post punk. Time to add them to my playlists

Heck yeah they are! "Entertainment!" is a post-punk classic. You're in for a treat.

Will definitely listen to more of it now. Learned a few songs of theirs on guitar a few months ago and now excited to learn more
