	Buzzcocks
		The Buzzcocks, one of the brighter pupils in the school of thought that made up England’s original punk explosion, are now part of the past, joining their comrades: the Adverts, the Vibrators, the Sex Pistols, Generation X, Wire, TRB, Penetration, and on and on.
		The Buzzcocks were formed by Howard Devoto and Pete Shelley after Devoto saw one of the Sex Pistols first gigs in late 1975.
		This was a real case of mixed emotions for me. The Buzzcocks were one of the six most important punk bands in the late seventies as far as I'm concerned (the others being the Pistols, the Jam, the Damned, the Clash, and the Ramones).

		Bio: Formed in Manchester, England, in 1975, the Buzzcocks were one of the most influential bands to emerge in the initial wave of punk rock.
		They succeeded in bringing the Pistols to Manchester, but the Buzzcocks had to pull out of their own gig when both the bassist and drummer left the group before the concert.
		The Buzzcocks certainly tested the limits of that artistic control with their debut single, "Orgasm Addict." Released in October of 1977, the single didn't become a hit because its subject matter was too explicit for BBC radio, but it generated good word of mouth.

		If impact and influence are true measures of a band's lasting greatness, Manchester's legendary Buzzcocks should already be in the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame.
		The band went on to break away from the Pistol's anarchy and the Clash's overt politicism, signing to United Artists (on the day Elvis died) and producing a string of hit singles that melded high-octane guitar, bass and drum power with heartrending personal statements of love won and lost and dismay with the modern world.

		Everything you love about the Buzzcocks is here, and it is the best quality recording of all four of their second period efforts.
		Although "Buzzcocks" isn't as good as "Another Music..." it is better than "Love Bites" and just as good as "A Different Kind of Tension." It's the first post-1980 Buzzcocks album worthy of inclusion with their first three.
		The self-titled "Buzzcocks" is certainly worth a listen and is an excellent example that bands, even as they age, can give the fans exactly what they want and expect without becoming trite and overly self-referential.

		And, as much as I was drawn to their hard-charging guitars and drums, their oft-humorous lyrics and the voices that delivered them, it bummed me out to learn that the band was already defunct and wouldn't be bringing me any more tales of adolescent heartbreak.
		The new album, simply titled Buzzcocks, is clearly calculated to evoke memories of days past, from the photocopy-quality front cover and typewriter-style Courier font on the lyrics sheet to the full-throttle, urgent tempo of the songs and the brisk total running time (12 cuts in just over a half hour).
		This is an astonishing return to form for The Buzzcocks, as they stick to what they do best: sing about what they know and use their instruments to make that blur of sound that longtime fans know and love.

	Buzzcocks: Buzzcocks: Pitchfork Record Review
		When the Buzzcocks started, punk was still something of a reaction against pop, and combining the two has always been a rock-paper-scissors sort of affair-- punk bludgeons the nuance out of pop, and pop sweetness neuters punk attitude.
		Even though the Buzzcocks sounded like they were always playing with complete abandon-- er, sorry, poor choice of words, kids-- they had the instincts and the songwriting talent to hit that mark with decent frequency.
		They've been a steady act for over a decade now, though; the past tense refers to the fact that their best material has always been the stuff that does the least to disturb the distortion/melody accord they struck in the late 70s.

	Buzzcocks - Spiral Scratch EP (The Grey Area)
		In the summer of 1976, in Manchester, the Buzzcocks - Howard Devoto, vocals; Steve Diggle, bass; John Maher, drums and Pete Shelley, Starway guitar - formed on the model of the Sex Pistols.
		It was a moment when they did what anyone else could have done, but nobody else but the Sex Pistols did, right at that moment: fix the present, open a door to the past, and let the pent-up energies of the forbidden and the forgotten sweep them and whoever might hear them into the no-future.
		The CD features the enhanced feature of footage of the buzzcocks live at the Manchester Free Trade compatible with Mac and PC.

	Never Mind the Buzzcocks - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Never Mind the Buzzcocks is a comedy panel game show with a pop and rock music theme, produced by talkbackTHAMES for the BBC, and usually aired on BBC Two.
		In the show, celebrities (usually comedians or musicians) are given tasks, such as guessing which song introduction their team-mates are attempting to recreate (with no instruments or props), and guessing which of three implausible stories about a popular musician are true.
		The second round is the Intros round, where each team is given two or three songs, that two of the team must orally convey the intro (or in one case the instrumental section) of, without using lyrics or words, so their team-mate can guess.

	The Buzzcocks (untitled) - Salon
		If the Buzzcocks' new CD sounds instantly familiar, that's because legions of loud, fast, snotty bands have co-opted the band's signature punk rock style since the late 1970s.
		Vintage Buzzcocks songs were different from their English punk peers.
		Standouts include Shelley's "Jerk," a self-excoriating number with buzz-saw guitar and a catchy chorus pleading for forgiveness, and Diggle's lovely and mournful "Sick City Sometimes," proof that alienation is not the exclusive provenance of youth.

	The Buzzcocks Album Reviews
		In fact, much like The Undertones, The Buzzcocks weren't really a punk band at all ("power pop" is far more fitting), despite being given that label.
		The Buzzcocks' second strong album in a single year was more experimental and less obviously punk indebted, with slower tempos, extended running times, expansive instrumental sections, and even some (most welcome and tastefully employed) guitar solos here and there.
		Perhaps if the band had better fleshed out some ideas while reining in their excesses elsewhere this album could’ve lived up to its potential, but hey, this is The Buzzcocks, so it’s still a good album overall; it’s just not nearly as good as I think it could’ve been.

		After the tour was completed, The Buzzcocks released the first do-it-yourself, independent record of the punk era.
		If the Buzzcocks broke up after Spiral Scratch, and not gone on and done fifteen hit singles and been on Top of The Pops a load of times, I don't think that people would be talking about Howard Devoto to be honest.
