Section 25 and Kevin Hewick
X-O-Dus
are a reggae band from Manchester that assembled in 1975. Their first gig was
in early ‘77 and they released a four song demo tape in ‘79. The tape was heard
by Tony Wilson who ‘almost immediately’ signed them to Factory, making them the
first reggae band signed to a leading UK independent label.
The
single ‘English Black Boys’/’See Them A Come’ received favourable reviews in
Sounds, Melody Maker and the NME and entered both the UK independent singles
and UK reggae singles charts. Their other songs include ‘Sinnerman’, ‘Dance’, ‘Rise
and Fall’, ‘Bourneville’ and ‘Friends of the Earth’.
