Description
The clipped guitar choke before the chorus of "Keep on Believing" still sparks like jumper leads. Buzzcocks’ The Way was their 2014 return, the final studio set with Pete Shelley, and it leans into tuneful, barbed punk. This clear 2LP pressing gives the songs more space, and the low end sits deeper. "People Are Strange Machines" jabs with that stop-start wit, while "Meanwhile, 'The Way' rides a bittersweet hook that lingers long after the fade." It’s a set that works as well for a late-night Melbourne drive as it does for a Saturday tidy. Shelley and Steve Diggle split the writing, and you can feel the cheeky bite meeting a tougher, mid-tempo stomp. File it near The Undertones, only more seasoned around the edges. If you’d rather order online, you can buy Buzzcocks records online with us. Guitars bite without clutter, and the choruses hit hard without overstaying their welcome either. Clear variant looks tidy without getting gimmicky, and the sequencing keeps energy up without blurring the melodies. Still full of hooks, still economical, and surprisingly reflective without killing the pace. Short sides let the material breathe without the rush.
Order online now or swing past our Preston shop to pick it up.
