Rock-Ola Howard Devoto - Spanish Promo Gig Flyer.
Fans of Howard Devoto and Buzzcocks, Magazine, Luxuria, welcome. I've been a fan of Howard's work and that of his bandmates who inspired me to become a concert photographer and set up www.shotfrombothsides.co.uk and my love of punk/post punk. No money is made from this blog nor is it linked officially to Howard or any of the related bands or individual members. This is just one man's obsession in blog form, nothing more. If you don't like any of it. Well, that's your loss, not mine.

Buzzcocks 1976 versus the Misfits
There's an interesting Buzzcocks record review site here by Mark Prindle. He highlights the early work with Howard Devoto and points out the sound on the Misfits album "Legacy Brutality."
I am a fan of The Misfits and as both bands started around the same time you can't help but wonder if Mark has a point. The drumming is uncanny in places.
The Damned were very much influenced by the Misfits too.
Compare to the early Buzzcocks Demos.

Suddenly we are eating sandwiches.
Alternate bites, I mind she purrs.
And exchanging endearments.
Lies a girl I bite she
swallows.
My sweet boy she bites, I swallow.
We don't yet do with our gills full.
What about it, my memory.
We're talking of my memory.
Not
much that it’s getting better that it’s getting worse.
That things are coming
back to me.
Nothing is coming back to me. But to conclude from that.
Suddenly we are eating sandwiches.
Alternate bites, I
mind she purrs.
And exchanging endearments, my sweet girl, I bite she
swallows.
