Buzzcocks Artist Snapshot:

They never achieved the status of punk peers the Sex Pistols and the Clash, but the Buzzcocks are one of the most influential rock bands of the latter 20th century. With a blazing guitar attack, bratty singing, and riff-happy songs built around a few simple chords, the Buzzcocks could almost be called England's answer to the Ramones. Crucially, they added wry, scathing wit and undeniable pop sensibilities. They created some of the greatest singles in rock, and generations of groups have subsequently borrowed or stolen from them.

Review

Q (5/02 SE, p.135) - Included in Q's "100 Best Punk Albums" - "...There is much to treasure in Pete Shelley's magnificent 'Ever Fallen In Love', the sarcastic 'Operator's Manual', the sharp, cynical blast of 'Just Lust' and the enchanting conundrum 'Nostalgia'..."
Record Collector (magazine) (p.88) - 5 stars out of 5 -- "[A] tour de force of pop-punk gems..."

Title Note

The Buzzcocks: Pete Shelley, Steve Diggle (vocals, guitar); Steve Garvey (bass); John Maher (drums).

Include liner notes by Richard Boon and Malcolm Garrett.

All tracks have been digitally remastered.

On the Buzzcocks' sophomore effort, LOVE BITES, the band, and lead singer/songwriter Pete Shelley in particular, go beyond the bratty punk provocations of songs such as "Orgasm Addict," becoming masters of perfectly crafted punk-pop. The presence of "Ever Fallen in Love," one of the Buzzcocks' finest moments, is enough to testify to this fact. The tune's wonderfully sculpted major/minor-key shifting, bouncing verses, and unforgettable chorus, not to mention Shelley's vulnerable vocals, raise the aggressive pop song to an art form.

LOVE BITES is full of other gems, too, including "Real World," the lead-off track, which builds from a beautifully chugging rhythm into a fully fleshed rock attack, and "Nostalgia," a classic minor-key progression imbued with propulsive energy. "Just Lust" and "Sixteen Again" flirt with simple song structures, but the tunes are so smartly put together that their surfaces can be misleading. The 2001 reissue of LOVE BITES adds four bonus singles (including two more examples of peerless punk-pop perfection in "Love You More" and "Promises," as well as the delightfully cheeky "Noise Annoys"), enhancing this already-classic punk-pop album.
