Section 25 - Friendly Fires

Section 25 are one of those bands that seem to be recalled more as having been part of a scene - the late '70s/early '80s Factory scene, to be precise - than for anything they actually recorded. See also Crispy Ambulance.

Listening to them now, a lot of their music does sound very dated (and you could pick them out as a Factory band a mile away) but the standout tracks are up there with much of what, say, New Order were doing in their early years.

This is from their 1981 debut, Always Now.
