“Those clever bastards from Blackpool”.

Rob Gretton 1980,

“Every band needs a gimmick.And your gimmick is,you don’t have one”.

John Robb 2009,

“To our teenage minds full of chemicals and hope they had a mystical raw power. Punk aggression mixed with something more disturbing. No wonder Ian Curtis loved them”.

Kevin Hewick 2008,

“Powerfull, mesmerising and expressive. Perhaps the most maverick and enigmatic of the bands that were part of the now legendary Factory Records roster. Section 25 were formed in Poulton-le Fylde, Lancashire in 1977 by brothers Larry and Vin Cassidy. Their classic Northern Sound defines punk and electro in one. Having worked with Ian Curtis, Martin Hannet and Bernard Sumner on four Factory Albums they now continue to record for LTM. They pre-dated ambient, chillout and massive beats by a decade. Their explorations of hypnotic basslines, thrusting motorik drums and rusty colliding slabs of melody and feedback produce a truly unique and zen like sound”.

Section 25 are:

Larry Cassidy vocals, misc.

Vin Cassidy drums.

Bethany Cassidy, vocals, keyboards.

Steve Stringer guitars, computers.
