Given that the Buzzcocks, the esteemed inventors of chainsaw pop, already have ten live albums on the market at this writing, the arrival of 30, titled to commemorate the three decades since their debut album, seems like something less than an event. Which is not to say the album isn't good -- Pete Shelley and Steve Diggle have admirably maintained the Buzzcocks' standing as one of the best and most consistently entertaining live acts in British rock, and this recording of a show in London (no date g   [ read more ]

RESTOCK. VINYL FORMAT. That's right, you read it correctly. 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 from the start and never letting go. Guaranteed to send you off humming and cranking the air guitar   [ 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.

The key word in the title of this triple-disc collection of single sides from the Buzzcocks is "Complete," which in this case proves to be both a virtue and a flaw. In their original incarnation, the Buzzcocks scarcely ever made a wrong move, and between 1977 and 1981, they released a string of genius singles that not only defined the nascent genre of punk-pop, but showed how adventurous their lean but hook-laden bamalama could be. In 1989, after an eight-year split, the Buzzcocks got back toget   [ read more ]

So just how many live Buzzcocks albums does the world need? Of the first wave of British punk bands, the Buzzcocks are one of the few who can still step onto a stage and perform with something resembling their original power and enthusiasm, and Driving You Insane proves how true this happens to be. Recorded at a London show in early 2003 (the band dedicates "Autonomy" to the decently departed Joe Strummer), this double-disc set captures the band tearing through a 32-song set with sweat, fi   [ read more ]
