Line 1: {{~~work~~creator}} {{creatorstub}} [[Buzzcocks]] were an English punk rock band who were one of the innovators of the Manchester music scene and one of the most popular British punk bands along with [[The Clash]] and the [[Sex Pistols]]. Along with [[The Ramones]], they pioneered [[Pop Punk]]. Their official site is [https://buzzcocks.com/ buzzcocks.com]. Gave the name to ''[[Never Mind the Buzzcocks]]''. ---- {{creatortropes}} ~~==== Tropes related to the band: ====~~ * [[A Date ~~With~~with Rosie Palms]]: "Orgasm Addict" * [[The Band Minus the Face]]: Averted when original frontman Howard DeVoto left to form Magazine, Pete Shelley took over singing and became [[Face of the Band]]. * [[Cluster F -Bomb\|Cluster Shit Bomb]]: "Oh Shit" * [[Epic Riff]]: The bass line of "Boredom", the echoing effect of "Ever Fallen In Love" especially. * [[Epic Rocking]]: Relative to the rest of their material, "Why Can't I Touch It?" (6:38) and "I Believe" (7:09) * [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin]]: "Ever Fallen in Love (With Someone You Shouldn't've)?" * [[Ironic Echo]]: Went on tour in 1979 with [[~~Joy Division (Music)\|~~Joy Division]] in support months before Ian Curtis killed himself. Went on tour in 1994 as support for [[~~Nirvana (Music)\|~~Nirvana]]... weeks before Kurt Cobain killed himself. * [[Missed the Bus]]: "Something's Gone Wrong Again": 'Nothing ever happens to people like us, 'cept we miss the bus'. * [[Pop Punk]]: Unlike many of their peers (besides [[The Ramones]]), the Buzzcocks played well crafted pop songs, only louder and faster. Also, Pete Shelley's voice is much higher and melodic than many punk bands of the time. Line 18 ⟶ 21: * [[Silly Love Songs]]: "Ever Fallen in Love (With Someone You Shouldn't've)," "What Do I Get?" * [[The Slacker]]: "Boredom" * [[Step Up to ~~The~~the Microphone]]: Steve Diggle's vocal turns could be considered this, though he does sing on every album at least once. The only time a Diggle-led track has been the A-side of a single was with "Harmony In My Head". {{reflist}} Line 24 ⟶ 27: [[Category:Buzzcocks]] [[Category:Music]] [[Category:Names to Know in Music]]
