Wow. Musically it is so Buzzcocks.
But the singing? I don't get it.
Steve Diggle has sang "Harmony in my head" as well as "Why she's the girl from the chainstore" and he sang them well and sang them low..... here it is baffling why he is singing so high and out of tune.....

Sonics In The Soul is the sound of Buzzcocks rebooted and reinvigorated
Mancunian punk legends Buzzcocks keep the flag flying on riotous 10th album Sonics In The Soul

Just listening to this it's very decent.
Another review I read compares Diggle's voice to Frank Sidebottom which is actually not far off the truth on one or two tracks in particular

I agree and It sounds to me like Diggle is trying to mimic Shelley's distinct singing voice and Diggle is failing miserably.
A mate of mine is going watching Buzzcocks, Ruts DC and The Skids, asked me if i want a ticket. I think I'll give it a swerve because Buzzcocks aren't the same without Pete Shelley, Ruts DC without won't be the same without Malcolm Owen, even though i never got to see them as he tragically overdosed aged 25 in 1980. Also never seen the Skids because I only liked Into The Valley and Masquerade.
Not heard this track(about heroin) for yonks. B Side of Staring at the Rude Boys.
And whilst I'm listening to it i may as well put the A side on here.

Really enjoyed watching that.
Having read the majority of Pistols books and watched the documentaries, Wally was this kind of mythical legendary figure in that everyone knew his name but no one knew anything about him.
Very interesting to hear he should have been credited for Did You Know Wrong and tragic that he passed away so soon in 1996 - the day before he was awarded royalties.
This video certainly filled a few gaps in the early formation of the Pistols
