Post-punk pioneers and Factory Records alumni Section 25 are back with a fresh new AA-side single featuring remixes of Move On and Back In The Day by Outernationale. The reworks is out digitally now via 9×9 Records, and it’s a crisp update on two standout cuts from their latest album ‘Move On’.

To mark the occasion, Section 25 will hit the stage for a special live show on June 6th at Rough Trade, Liverpool. It’s a rare opportunity to catch the band in the flesh—don’t sleep on tickets.
This remix release follows the band’s 2024 full-length ‘Move On’, their 10th studio album, which continues to highlight their ability to reflect on the past while pushing sound forward. The limited-edition box set flew off shelves, but the album is still available to stream and purchase here.
For the uninitiated, Section 25’s legacy runs deep. Formed in Blackpool in 1977 by brothers Larry and Vincent Cassidy, the band became a key figure in the Factory Records scene. Their early releases were shaped by Joy Division’s Ian Curtis and Rob Gretton, and produced by post-punk architect Martin Hannett. Over time, they transitioned from raw post-punk to pioneering electro and synth-pop, culminating in cult classics like ‘From the Hip’ and the Bernard Sumner-produced Looking From A Hilltop.
Their influence? Immeasurable. Sampled by Kanye West on ‘The Life of Pablo’, name-dropped by LCD Soundsystem, and respected across decades of underground and mainstream scenes.
Now down to a duo—Vincent Cassidy and long-time collaborator Steven Stringer—Section 25 continue to evolve while staying true to the core of what made them iconic: atmospheric, emotional, and sonically daring music.
Move On / Back In The Day (Outernationale Remixes) is out now, and you can catch the band live on:
June 6 – Liverpool, Rough Trade
September 7 – Edinburgh, Voodoo Rooms
It’s a new chapter, but still unmistakably Section 25. Stream it, spin it, and if you’re lucky enough—see it live.
