All I knew about the Buzzcocks before this was that Joy Division thought they were a joke. For a punk rock band in the late 70s, they're pretty good—this EP is fresh and exciting, especially "Boredom." Their riffs are great and Pete Shelley's vocals are fun and unique, I'll definitely have to get around to the rest of their discography at some point.
