New wave legends Department S release new album Burn Down Tomorrow in November 2024

Best known for their 1981 hit single "Is Vic There?", the band reformed in 2007, continually pushing forward with new material. The current line up is Phil Thompson (vocals and guitar), Mike Lea (bass and backing vocals) and Simon Bowley (drums and backing vocals). Sounding as relevant as ever, new album Burn Down Tomorrow nods to their 80s sound while displaying a 21st Century take on the classic Department S vibe. Guest appearances from Baz Warne (The Stranglers), Leigh Heggarty (Ruts DC), and Stephen Rice (The Chameleons) illustrate the high regard in which Department S are still held by their peers.

Boasting over 28,000 monthly Spotify listeners, Department S have remained pioneers
in new wave and post punk. Original vocalist Vaughn Toulouse passed away in the early 90s, but the band decided to reform with long standing member Phil Thomson as frontman. Previous album When All Is Said and Done was released in 2016 to critical acclaim.
