THE BUZZ - Asylum 1981

Let's come to another rare nugget of English music with the Buzz from Shrewsbury, formed 1978 and they released their first awesome Insanity EP on Redball Records with three splendid cuts one year later. Their only album was recorded with a different line-up, Chris Bellingham (vocals/synth), Nic Evans (guitars), Chris Hill (bass) and I.R. Davis (drums), and their sound moves away from the simple 1-2-3-4 punk of the 7'', are getting longer and have more atmosphere and depth in my opinion, New Wave I could say. They really did their own thing and no record company was interested so they just released the record with fourteen sunbeams on their own, a good decision! On important compilations represented, for example Bloodstains Across the UK 4 and more in the Blog. Enjoy!
