My dad just pulled out this poster he had from a Melody Maker, about Manchester music to 1992.

The Buzzcocks

Another from my list of "underrated" artists. Lots of people seem to know the Buzzcocks, but are oblivious to this band which splintered off from it. Howard Devoto and Pete Shelley founded the Buzzcocks, but Devoto left the band in 1977 because he didn't like being part of the punk movement—I suspect it was more a circumstance of him not wanting to be seen as a member of any movement, really. Devoto formed Magazine, who released four excellent albums before disbanding in late 1981 (they reunited for a fifth in 2011).

DISHING OUT ALL THE HITS IN '76: "BOREDOM," "TIMES UP," "FRIENDS OF MINE," "YOU TEAR ME UP," ETC...

PIC INFO: Spotlight on early BUZZCOCKS (with Howard Devoto), rehearsing in St Boniface's church hall, Salford, UK, c. August 1976, just down the road from the band's original rehearsal space (Howard's basement flat). The move was reportedly suggested by one of Howard's neighbours.

The Buzzcocks // Ever Fallen In Love

[rockinshots]

Buzzcocks hammered us hard at Great American Music Hall with their rapid-fire punk energy, and we loved every second!!

Steve Diggle was spectacular taking over the lead singer position. Danny Farrant on the kit is among the best, keeping impeccable timing and adding flair. The sold-out crowd created a large moshpit in the center that continued throughout the show.
