Over Buzzcocks
For generations, Manchester, UK has been ground zero for forward-thinking indie musicāand for that, you can thank Buzzcocks. College mates/guitarists Howard Devoto and Pete Shelley formed the band in 1976 at the dawn of punkās first wave and, that June, booked the notorious Sex Pistols gig at Lesser Free Trade Hall where future members of Joy Division and The Fall found their calling. And their 1977 debut EP, Spiral Scratch, was not only among the first UK punk releases, but also the sceneās first truly DIY artifact. Buzzcocks would be legends for those feats aloneāhowever, following Devotoās departure in 1977, Shelley and bassist-cum-guitarist Steve Diggle brought their innate ear for Beatles-esque melody to the fore and invented pop-punk as we know it, yielding timeless expressions of sexual frustration (āOrgasm Addictā) and, through the lens of the openly bi Shelley, unrequited queer desire (āEver Fallen in Loveā). After splitting in 1981, Buzzcocks enjoyed a fruitful second act in the ā90s, just as the sound they pioneered was enjoying its Green Day-powered resurgence. And even after Shelleyās 2018 death, Diggle has taken the reins, ably honoring the groupās legacy on the revved-up 2022 single āSenses Out of Control.ā
