Bleep

Lovingly restored and remastered from the original 1/4” tapes, complete with expanded artwork and liner notes by Jon Savage, Buzzcocks’ 1979 statement record A Different Kind of Tension is due its reappraisal as one of punk rock’s most adventurous. With one foot in zippy rascality and another in bold, angst-laden experimentation, A Different Kind of Tension bridges more than just the twin tendencies of the Buzzcocks; it renders the evolution of punk into a bullishly realised microcosm.
