Renegades! Right from the start. Soul rebels gunning for greater things, eight genial hitmen forged a new machine to crash through the synth-tinkle dullness of 1980's pap music. Bright and brief as a meteor, the band hurled out one album before music biz sabotage scuppered a bigger future.  The embers of this glorious exploit never died, so when a diehard fan staged a reunion twenty years on, not only was The Bureau's lost album relaunched, but new music sparked into life. This unexpected renewal has led to a fresh album, launched in 2008, just for the hell of it.

  The Bureau: passion, not fashion
