The New Song and Dance is the debut album by the dance-punk/post-punk revival band Radio 4, released in 2000.[2][5]

The album was recorded cheaply, making for a messy but angry and fast sound. The New Song and Dance was mildly successful with critics, who likened the album's sound to that of the Clash.[3]
