Steve Diggle finds harmony with The Buzzcocks

What Difference Does It Make

08/12/22 • 51 min

5.0

One wouldn't blame Steve Diggle if he decided to pack up The Buzzcocks name after the death of vocalist Pete Shelley back in 2018. But Steve is carrying on, with the same fervored passion that powered the band back in Manchester, England in 1978.

The new album, entitled Sonics In The Soul, further cements the bands legacy as innovators in Punk. Steve talks all about the band, the loss of Pete, and the new album on this episode of the What Difference Does It Make podcast.

Halloween Remastered 80s style

It's not a repeat if you haven't heard it before, so this is the perfect time to revisit Dave's favorite holiday and the one Holly tolerates because candy is involved. We talk about our favorite Halloween songs and movies that Holly has yet to see...Dave is still waiting to discuss Ed Wood with her. Plus, Holly thinks Echo & The Bunnymen's "Killing Moon" is a love song until she learns the terrifying truth. It's a dead man's party, so who can ask for more!
