Wake Up Dead Man

"It’s a rare thing to find a reformed band that are better than the original” VIVE LE ROCK MAGAZINE 2011. 30 years after first gracing the charts with IS VIC THERE? GOING LEFT RIGHT and I WANT…DEPARTMENT S have been rampaging across the UK and Europe thrilling audiences with their guitar based sound from Wickerman in Scotland to Benicassim in Spain. With 4 original members, Mike Herbage, Stuart Mizon, Mark Taylor and Eddie Roxy joined by Back To Zero’s Sam Burnett giving the group a unique sound with two lead guitarists. Since 2006 three singles have been released, Wonderful Day, God Squad Saviour and My Coo Ca Choo with guest musicians such as Glenn Matlock, Marco Perroni, Mark Bedford and John Keeble. A new LP released last year “MR NUTLEY’S STRANGE DELUSSIONARIUM” was greeting by warm reviews and represents the more rock sound the band believe would have immerged had VIC producers(Buffin and Overend from Mott The Hoople) been allowed to produce the debut LP…….sadly the label wanted a more commercial sound and then went bust after the record was finished but before it was released thus the first Department S album was released 10 years after it was made!!!  2013 will see a new LP “The Constructavist’s Nightmare” and the band back on the road playing clubs and festivals.
