Buzzcocks

31 concerts

Buzzcocks, formed in Manchester by Pete Shelley and Howard Devoto, helped shape British punk with energetic pop-punk tunes. Known for songs like "Orgasm Addict" and "What Do I Get?", they released influential albums such as Another Music in a Different Kitchen and Love Bites. Disbanded in 1981, they re-formed in 1989, continuing to tour and release music, including 1993's Trade Test Transmissions. Their punk-pop sound inspired bands like Nirvana. After Shelley's 2018 death, Steve Diggle led the band, releasing Sonics in the Soul in 2022.
