“While we’ve still got our Buzzcocks identity there, I’ve tried to take the music to a couple of different areas along the way,” says Buzzcocks guitarist Steve Diggle about Attitude Adjustment, the U.K. punk heroes’ new studio album. The band – which formed in 1976, punk’s “year zero” – continues to buck the trend of what constitutes the sound of punk rock.
“We were part of that whole Manchester punk explosion,” Diggle says. “But while there was this exciting, glamorous thing to the Sex Pistols and the Clash, we were quite avant garde compared to what they were doing.”
