New band photo

Here's a new band photo for the infobox or whatever:

It's more up to date than the other photo, and shows the members' faces better, so use it if you wish. If you have questions, please leave a note on my talk page. --Leahtwosaints (talk) 02:46, 15 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Mind the Buzzcocks

In the English language that I know, they're called the Buzzcocks---and just see the photo caption on this page. Rothorpe (talk) 14:30, 22 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

NPOV

"On 13 September 2014 Buzzcocks played a brief but triumphant set at RiotFest 2014 in Chicago, Illinois, USA."

Even with a source, which isn't here, that statement is far from neutral. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 161.181.53.35 (talk) 22:14, 24 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

If a reliable source said "a brief but triumphant set" that would be absolutely fine - but without such a source the claim definitely fails WP:NPOV JezGrove (talk) 22:24, 24 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I've just found the quote. It's from Tony McGartland's "Buzzcocks: The Complete History" - I'll try and add a proper ref when I get the chance. JezGrove (talk) 22:38, 24 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

September 2023 update

I did an extensive copy edit and added further references and expanded especially the period after 1989 when the band reformed. The albums released during that period were only partially included. I added those and tidied up the chronology.

What I was left with are some style descriptions that are unreferenced. I put those in their own section as their influence on punk rock probably deserves to be highlighted. Unfortunatly not something I came across much in the references at hand. Karst (talk) 22:52, 17 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
