Buzzcocks are a [[punk rock]] band that exhibit "crisp melodies", "driving guitars" and "biting lyrics". According to Mark Deming of [[AllMusic]], that instead of drawing on political lyrical themes, the band "brought an intense, brilliant vigor to the three-minute pop song, powered by Shelley's alternately funny and anguished lyrics about [[adolescence]] and love, backed by melodies and hooks that were concise and memorable."<ref>{{Cite web |title=Buzzcocks Songs, Albums, Reviews, Bio & More {{!}}... |url=https://www.allmusic.com/artist/buzzcocks-mn0000629564#biography |access-date=2024-11-30 |website=AllMusic |language=en}}</ref> Buzzcocks' distinctive sound combines catchy pop melodies with punk guitar energy, backed by an unusually tight and skilled rhythm section. They grew in musical and lyrical sophistication; by the end, they were quoting American writer [[William S. Burroughs]]' "A Different Kind of Tension", declaiming their catechism in the anthem "I Believe", and tuning in to a fantasy radio station on which their songs could be heard ("Radio Nine").{{Cn|date=November 2024}}
