Department S was a British post-punk band formed in 1980, who took their stage name from the 1960s TV series.
Department S evolved from a previous punk/ska combo, Guns For Hire. They were both led by the enigmatic Vaughan Toulouse, who remained the frontman and driving force

This is the first time I've heard this track fully, i.e. with end effect, and it sounds even better than it did thirty years ago. Really sharp melodic guitar, good bass - not too overpowering, and minor keyboard wizardy. Should have done better than no.22 in the charts. 1981 saw some really original stuff in the charts and this single illustrates it perfectly.
