Steve Diggle

After providing the backbone of past due-’70s Uk punk band the Buzzcocks using the scorching, barbed-wire sound of his guitar, Steve Diggle was forced to get other outlets once the group disbanded in 1981. Developing a new music group, Flag of Comfort, with Buzzcock drummer John Maher, he continuing to assault listeners along with his bone-crushing audio with the 1980s. Diggle continuing to struggle for achievement, nevertheless. Although Flag of Comfort was reorganized pursuing Maher’s departure in 1986, and renamed FOC, the group’s recording, Northwest Skyline, sank upon launch and didn’t generate much interest. A more long term edition of FOC, offering guitarist Gary Couzens from the Rock Roses, do no better. Inside a eager move, Diggle started billing the group as Buzzcocks FOC. Diggle’s complications alleviated when he decided to sign up for previous Buzzcocks bandmates Pete Shelley, Steve Garvey, and Maher in resurrecting the group in 1989. The reunion demonstrated so successful how the four musicians decided to continue operating together, releasing READY, in 1996, accompanied by Modern 3 years later on. Collaborating with writer Terry Rawlins, Diggle had written a memoir from the past due-’70s English punk scene, Tranquility in My Mind, which was released by Helter Skelter in June 2002.
