Department S
**Department S** emerged from the UK's vibrant post-punk scene in the early 1980s, best known for their cult classic "Is Vic There?"—a snappy, synth-driven track inspired by the TV show *Sapphire & Steel*. Fronted by the charismatic Vaughan Toulouse, the band blended sharp guitars, wiry rhythms, and cheeky wit, landing them a dedicated following among mod revival and new wave fans. Though their initial run was brief, splitting in the mid-'80s, their influence lingered, and the 2000s saw a revival with original members (including guitarist Michael Herbage and bassist Tony Maimone) reigniting their energetic live shows. Recent releases like *Burn Down Tomorrow* and the 40th-anniversary refresh of "Is Vic There?" prove they’ve still got that punchy, rebellious charm, keeping both old-school devotees and new listeners hooked.
