Buzzcocks Hitting The Road

04/05/2010
. Buzzcocks announce a massive tour of North America! The tour sees the godfathers of punk pop hit 22 cities in the US and Canada with more dates TBA. (dates below).

There are hardly any bands performing today that genuinely deserve the adjective 'legendary'. Buzzcocks are one of those very few. Their achievements are staggering: one of the original holy trinity of British punk (with the Sex Pistols and the Clash), innovators of the independent record scene and genuine punk rock superstars who have been cited as inspirational by bands as diverse as REM, Nirvana and Green Day.

Eight studio albums, over twenty singles and EPs, a constellation of compilations, covers by other bands and songs on film soundtracks and advertisements have put Buzzcocks among the top echelons of British recording artists. A Mojo Inspiration Award in 2006 is just one of the many accolades they have received for their work.

Buzzcocks have been thrilling audiences for over thirty years. Once called 'the Beatles of punk', their music blends high-octane guitar, bass and drum power with heartrending personal statements of love won and lost or dismay at the modern world to create a unique catalogue of unforgettable and immortal music � music they continue to deliver to fans old and new around the world with undiminished passion and energy.

Buzzcocks recently reissued three of their classic albums; "Another Music In A Different Kitchen," "Love Bites," and "A Different Kind Of Tension." Featuring the original albums from 1978/9 plus previously unreleased tracks, Peel sessions, associated singles, demos, backing tracks, live versions, and much more � the albums are an essential part of any true punk music fan's collection.
