About Buzzcocks

Making a Name

In 1976, Buzzcocks composed 11-song demo, very strongly resembling “Sex Pistols” in the musical plan. Several concerts with other pioneers of the British punk made “Buzzcocks” a name and reputation of one of the strongest teams of the running high punk revolution. In 1977, solid firms began to be interested in “Buzzcocks”, and the musicians got the contract from “United Artists”. The first single, “Orgasm Addict”, though didn't become a radio hit because of the provocative texts, but nevertheless paved the way for success of the subsequent releases.

Decrease of Popularity

In 1978, “Buzzcocks” let out two albums and performed a large number of sets. In principle, “Buzzcocks” continued to remain popular in the homeland, but in 1980, the concert activity was sharply reduced because of internal conflicts, and the group was engaged only in release of singles. In 1981, the collective started working over the 4th album. However, the label wanted to reissue the collection of singles “Singles Going Steady”, which was earlier issued in the USA, for the British market.

Reunion

“Buzzcocks” and the label wasn't succeeded to reach consensus, and Shelley made the decision to dismiss the team. Reunion of the classical structure took place in 1989 when the group carried out the American tour. After these tours, personnel conflicts began again, and the situation was stabilized only at the beginning of the 90s. Since 1993, “Buzzcocks” resumed the release of studio albums, but their modern opuses didn't cause such interest as earlier ones.
