Department S est un groupe de post-punk britannique. Malgré cette courte carrière initiale, le groupe saura marquer les esprits avec Is Vic There ? en 1981. Promis à un bel avenir, soutenu par la presse et quelques personnalités comme les Jam, le groupe se heurtera au scepticisme de sa maison de disques et à des conflits internes, qui mèneront à sa dissolution. Department S est un exemple notable stigmatisant les espoirs brisés par le milieu du disque.
