Brand new album from punk pioneers Buzzcocks is here and I’ve been lucky enough to have had it on rotation at RPM Towers for a while and whilst I’ve dealt with the name and Petes passing I know there will be departments of the punk rock police who will be all over this but I’m ok with the elephant in the room and respect Diggle and co for continuing as Buzzcocks, sure from a marketing perspective its a no brainer and they’ll get a lot more tracktion with th eband name over Diggle solo (no disrespect intended but its a fact) Anyway, Lets move on its a new year and a new album is in hand and to be fair pound for pound its a slow burning slab of puk rock that deserves a lot of credit from Diggle stepping out of his comfort zone of penning a few tunes on a Buzzcocks album to being the captain of the ship and to his credit he handles it like a master of his craft. The vocals are like a fine wine and matured from the Diggle of yesteryear, and I’m sure there would have been conversations in the recording studio as to how Shelley would have handled a verse or melody and treated it respectfully without trying too hard to mimic or force it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
