A Certain Ratio (aka ACR or A.C.R.) are a post-punk/funk band from Manchester, UK, formed in the late 1970s by Simon Topping, Jeremy Kerr, Martin Moscrop, Donald Johnson and Pete Terrell. Revitalised by their 40th anniversary tour, the band returned to the studio to record their first album in 12 years - Loco - released on Mute on 25 September 2020.
Along with Gang of Four and The Pop Group, ACR are recognised as one of the first exponents of punk-funk, a style which fused the energy and aggression of punk rock with the rhythms and musicianship of funk and soul.
