Sector 27 is a defunct British new wave band founded in 1979 by Tom Robinson. Their 1980 debut album, Sector 27, was produced by Steve Lillywhite. Robinson subsequently left the band, and it continued without him for a number of years. Sector 27 toured with Elton John and The Police.
Tom Robinson formed the band in late 1979 as an effort to begin a new direction. The band made its debut in Liverpool on 11 January 1980. The band released its first records on its own label, Panic Records. Later releases were on Fontana Records. The band was released in the US on I.R.S. Records. The first LP was produced by Steve Lillywhite.
After Robinson and Derek Quinton had left, the band released a single and 12" on Rocket Records: "Excalibur" (1984), produced by Phil Harding.
