The Buzz

The Buzz

The Buzz has been played on NTS shows including Post Punk Britain, with Life Ends first played on 18 May 2023.

There are at least two different bands called The Buzz.

The Buzz initially formed in 1977, and cut a fine melodic punk 45 ('Insanity') at Redball Records in Shropshire. Ian Davies joined on drums and Chris Bellingham took over on vocals (with Nic Evans still as the principal song-writer) and a year later they recorded a lost four-song demo. Summer 1981 found them at Dave Anderson's Foel Studios in North Wales to record their album "Asylum" -with a more distinctly post-punk flavour. The band continued to gig, but support for the LP was limited, and after Ian left the Buzz folded (the Cravats gig was among their last). The others re-emerged in 1982 as the synth based Luxi Trio (three Evans songs of theirs are lost as well). The Satyrs, the Loosehound Drifters and Gilbert Grape followed before Ian Davies rejoined Nic and brother Richard Evans in a wonderful janglecpop band called 5he Gilberts, who later morphed into the New Planet Animals.

The Buzz were a four piece British rock band from Cambridge, who briefly enjoyed local success during the mod revival / pre-Britpop years in the early 1990s. Their sole single, 'Tell Her No', was released by Detour Records in 1993. Personnel: Andrew Lindsay (guitar, vocals), Richard Fairclough (guitar, organ, vocals), Tom Roughan (bass) and Jon Evans (drums, vocals).
