Buzzcocks

Buzzcocks, the punk provocateurs hailing from Manchester, crashed onto the scene in 1976 with a sonic blitzkrieg of short, sharp songs that could peel paint off walls. Fronted by the irreverent Pete Shelley, this quartet embraced brevity like it was a punk virtue, delivering three-minute pop grenades that left a lasting impact. With hits like "Ever Fallen in Love (With Someone You Shouldn't've)," Buzzcocks turned heartache into a punk anthem, proving that even mohawks could have feelings.
