Comments for Buzzcocks, A Different Kind Of Tension/Parts 1-3

Deffinately one of the better 70's influences, yet tottaly under rated. I think it's time for a Buzzcocks revival, Start with their greatest hits and progress!

I couldn't agree more. A couple of years ago they did a short North American tour and were EXACTLY the same as they were back in the late 70's! Although I noticed that Steve Diggle is starting to resemble John Cusack, the actor.

The buzzcocks are without a doubt the best band of the punk era The clash,jam,lacked the song after song brilliance of the buzzcocks they were always honest, personal,and angry-exactly what the average teen punk was and still is.Their music since the band reformed has lacked the consistency of original records,but the live shows remain a loud sweaty treat.

Brings back some damn good 70s times....

The Buzzcocks songs trancend the label of "punk". These are just as great as any other material. The sound leans more toward new wave with a little synths, but the heavy agressive guitars are still there. The are expanding their sound on this record. The last 6 tracks are from their 3 singles before the brief 80''s period of retirement.

One of the better 70`s punk bands
