When the Buzzcocks, already on their third lineup, released their full-length debutin 1978, the British punk band's punchy sound and quick-witted lyrics sent a shockwave through the U.K. scene ruled by the Sex Pistols; a year later, the now-classic compilationintroduced them to American audiences.
It's good that vinyl's making a comeback because it means people will listen to the album. When people download things now, they only listen to a couple of tracks instead of the whole thing. Remember when those records came out, that was all there was. It's great people are still buying records. It's an experience of the music that shows what the band was actually doing while making an album. It goes down one side, and another side...it's a journey.
We were inspired by our day-to-day lives, everything that happens around you, people paying their gas bill, the human condition, the things going on inside you. We were inspired by Burroughs, Joyce and lots of existential writers -- Sartre, Camus. When I was young, if I bought a hit single, I’d buy a book at the same time. It's in our lyrics as well. Bits of philosophy and really simple things. It adds a lot of depth to the music.
