Buzzcocks

Musical Group

English punk band formed in 1976, noted for combining punk energy with pop melody. Key figure Pete Shelley (guitar, vocals). Widely cited as influential on later pop-punk and British indie bands.

Formed in the Manchester area in 1976. Early records (including Spiral Scratch and Another Music/In A Different Kitchen) helped define a melodic strand of punk. Pete Shelley was the band's principal songwriter and singer; Steve Diggle and John Maher were notable members. The group split in 1981 and reformed in 1989; Pete Shelley died in 2018.

DeBaser's reviews present the Buzzcocks as a technically able, melody-forward English punk band. Reviewers emphasize Pete Shelley's voice and songwriting, the band's pop sensibility within punk, and their influence on later British indie and pop-punk. Live recordings are praised for immediacy and rawness.

For:fans of classic British punk, listeners interested in pop-punk origins, newcomers to late-70s Manchester music
