Unleash the Diggle: Buzzcocks guitarist Steve Diggle goes solo on new album

·

Buzzcocks co-singer/guitarist Steve Diggle is going rogue — well, at least going solo. As in, he’s releasing his first full-on album under his own name. The legendary punk rocker has previously released material under the name Flag of Convenience, but this time around he told Spinner that “another name would just confuse people…. Plus if anyone leaves this band, I’m still in, because I’m it.”

Diggle’s new album, entitled Air Conditioning also features performances from current fellow Buzzcocks member Chris Remington on bass.

In Buzzcocks news, Diggle says the band is currently getting some new tracks together and may be ready to put out a new album next year.
