Buzzcocks

ARTIST MAINARTIST INFORELATED ARTISTSLINKSREVIEWS

Formed in Manchester, England, in 1975, the Buzzcocks were one of the most influential bands to emerge in the initial wave of punk rock. With their crisp melodies, driving guitars, and guitarist Pete Shelley's biting lyrics, the Buzzcocks were one of the best, most influential punk bands. The Buzzcocks were inspired by the Sex Pistols' energy, yet they didn't copy the Pistols' angry political stance. Instead, they brought that intense, brilliant energy to the three-minute pop song. Shelley's alternately funny and anguished lyrics about adolescence an...[more]

 

 

If Never Mind the Bollocks and London Calling are held up as punk masterpieces, then there's no question that Singles Going Steady belongs alongside them. In fact, the slew of astonishing seven-inches collected on Steady and their influence on future musicians - punk or otherwise -- sometimes even betters more famous efforts. The title and artwork alone (the latter itself partially inspired by the Beatles' Let it Be) have been parodied or referred to by Halo of Flies and {$Don Caballero   [ read more ]

Did the Buzzcocks invent pop-punk? Probably not. Did they perfect it? You bet. Marrying glorious pop melodies, the chainsaw roar of a downstroked guitar, and the furious angst of a million confused teenagers, the Buzzcocks played punk rock that was physical, passionate, and emotionally compelling, but also joyously listenable (and danceable) in a way the Damned and the Clash could never dream of being. If the Buzzcocks Mark 1 (1976-1981) ever made a bad record, they've done a sple   [ read more ]

Given the consistent brilliance of the Buzzcocks during their first golden era (1976-1980), you'd have to work pretty hard to compile an hour's worth of their music that isn't a kick to listen to, and sure enough, Buzzcocks Finest: ?Ever Fall in Love?? offers 63 minutes of chainsaw guitars, irresistible hooks, and Pete Shelley's angst-ridden tales of love and confusion in the modern world ? in short, the stuff that made this band one of the best.

That's right, you read it correctly. Buzzcocks. Are we excited or what? Merge is proud to release the latest installment from these legendary punk-pop pioneers. Buzzcocks is the band's 7th full length and perhaps their most powerful and engaging in over 20 years. One would be hard pressed to find more perfect practitioners of the three minute pop song than Pete Shelley and Steve Diggle. Tracks like Jerk, Keep On, Driving You Insane, Sick City Sometimes and Lester Sands are pure punk perfection, grabbing you   [ read more ]
