Autonomy : Portrait of a Buzzcock
The Buzzcocks / Steve Diggle - Book - by Steve Diggle
(2024)
From bass player to lead guitarist, member, Steve Diggle has been the
driving force keeping Buzzcocks alive since he first met Pete Shelley in
1976. Together they would ignite the Manchester music scene, kickstart
indie and become one of the best loved and most influential punk groups
of all time. Following Shelley's untimely death in 2018, Autonomy is
Diggle's definitive inside account of their shared musical legacy and
complex friendship through the band's rise, fall, and rise again - from
their punk origins supporting Sex Pistols with original singer Howard
Devoto to Top of the Pops, the excess of success, break-up, reformation
and life beyond bereavement.
Funny, honest and touchingly
philosophical, it is also Diggle's very personal story of working class
escape, dreams, redemption and loss - an ultimately heroic survivor's
tale from an irrepressible rock'n'roll spirit.
