The Story
Secession was a synth-pop band from the United Kingdom that made waves in the mid-'80s. The lineup featured Peter Thomson, Jack Ross, Jim Ross, and Carole L. Branston, who crafted their sound using a small pre-programmed drum machine. With a distinct blend of catchy melodies and electronic beats, they delivered memorable tracks like "Touch." Their music encapsulated the spirit of the era, characterized by shimmering synthesizers and introspective lyrics that spoke to a generation navigating change. While their time together was brief, Secession's contributions to the synth-pop genre remain a delightful reminder of an innovative musical period.
