Manchester, United Kingdom (1975 – present)
Buzzcocks is an English punk rock band formed in Manchester, UK in 1975, led by singer-songwriter and guitarist Pete Shelley for nearly their entire existence.
They are commonly regarded as an important influence on the manchester music scene, the independent record label movement and the punk rock, power pop, pop punk and indie rock genres in general. They are primarily remembered for their singles, a string of would-be hits that combined a strong grasp of pop song craftsmanship with rapid-fire punk energy. These singles were collected on Singles Going Steady, described by critic Ned Raggett as a “punk masterpiece” The widely covered “Ever Fallen in Love?” remains one of their best-known songs.
The name “Buzzcocks” partially comes from the manchester slang term cock meaning youngster, and its use in the 1970s ITV drama serial Rock Follies which included the catch phrases “that’s the buzz, cocks” and “give me a buzz, cock!”
Buzzcocks were one of the key first generation British punk rock bands to form in the wake of The Sex Pistols in 1976. They were founded by Mancunians Pete Shelley and Howard Devoto, however Devoto left soon after the group released their Spiral Scratch EP (on their own independent label), leaving Shelley to take over vocals.
