Buzzcocks Announce Reissues of A Different Kind Of Tension & Singles Going Steady, Out June 14
As part of their continuing reissue campaign, Domino are very proud to announce details of the release of Buzzcocks albums A Different Kind Of Tension and Singles Going Steady, which are out on
Friday June 14th, 2019.
They follow the 40th anniversary re-issues of Another Music In A Different Kitchen and Love Bites in January of this year, and the re-release of the band’s debut EP, Spiral Scratch and a 1976 collection of demos, Time’s Up, in March 2018.
As previously, both albums have been lovingly restored and re-mastered from the original ¼” tapes for the first time and come packaged with lavish booklets containing unseen images and extensive liner notes by famed cultural commentators Jon Savage (A Different Kind Of Tension)and Clinton Heylin (Singles Going Steady).
Faithful to their original track-listings, the re-issues see the albums released on vinyl for the first time in many years, available on deluxe180g vinyl and CD.
Their third studio album, A Different Kind Of Tension was recorded at Eden Studio in West London in the summer of 1979 with producer Martin Rushent, who had worked on their previous two albums.
Their last studio album to feature the line-up of Pete Shelley (vocals / guitar), Steve Diggle (guitar / vocals), Steve Garvey (bass) and John Maher (drums), it was released in September 1979 and featured a distinctive cover by Malcolm Garrett who had provided the artwork for both Another Music In A Different Kitchen
and Love Bites.
Singles Going Steady was initially released in the U.S. on September 25th, 1979 via I.R.S. Records.
Originally a U.S.-only release, put together as an introduction to the band for the American public, side one featured their eight United Artists U.K. singles releases to date in chronological order, while side two featured the corresponding B-sides. The compilation perfectly captured the band’s effortless ability to write three-minute-mini-masterpieces that would endure long after the initial spark of punk had faded.
Healthy import sales following its U.S. release eventually led to United Artists issuing the album in the U.K. in November 1981 and it has subsequently transcended its status as a mere compilation, going on to become regarded as a seminal, era-defining release.
After recording demos for a fourth album, the band finally disbanded in 1981 with Shelley going on to a successful solo career while Diggle and Maher formed Flag of Convenience and Garvey formed Motivation and would later join The Blue Orchids.
Re-forming to play a series of shows in 1989, the band eventually released their fourth album, Trade Test Transmissions, in 1993 and subsequently continued to tour and record albums featuring original members Pete Shelley and Steve Diggle, until Shelley’s untimely death in December 2018.
Finally, having previously announced a concert at the Royal Albert Hall in London on June 21st 2019, the band recently confirmed they would continue and play the show by way of a celebration of Shelley’s life and musical genius. Joined by The Skids and Penetration, the band will also be accompanied by guest vocalists, details of which will be announced shortly.

Long before he ever picked up a sword as Bronn in Game of Thrones, Jerome Flynn was a pop star with a #1 album

Canadian Music Week and Radio Trailblazers Announce Carmela Laurignano As The 2019 The Rosalie Award Recipient
Canadian Music Week and Radio Trailblazers are proud to announce Carmela Laurignano, Vice-President and Radio Group Manager at Evanov Radio Group, as the 2019 Rosalie Award Recipient. Carmela Laurignano will receive the award at the Canadian Music and Broadcast Industry Awards Gala Dinner on Thursday, May 9 at Rebel Entertainment Complex.
The Rosalie Award was established in 2005 to recognize Canadian women who have blazed new trails in radio. Rosalie Award recipients are women who are successful in the radio industry and are seen as leaders, mentors, and people making a difference in the business. The Rosalie Award is supported by CBC and Slaight Music, and Direct Media Sales.
Carmela Laurignano is Vice-President and Radio Group Manager at Evanov Radio Group (ERG). She is also part owner of four of the company’s radio properties and serves on the company’s board.
Carmela began her decades-long career in the broadcasting industry at CHIN Radio, serving as Sales Assistant, Sales Manager, and was later promoted to Vice-President of Sales, Marketing and Promotions, becoming the first woman to hold a Vice-President position with a Canadian ethnic broadcaster and one of the youngest Vice-Presidents in the Canadian radio industry at the time.
In 1993, she joined ERG as Vice-President & Radio Group Manager where she has been instrumental in helping to grow ERG, constantly fostering opportunities for the company to acquire and launch new stations. When she first joined, ERG only had one ethnic station (CIAO-AM Brampton) and an equity interest in CING-FM Burlington. ERG now has 19 stations across four provinces, serving major, medium and small markets in a wide variety of formats (including Specialty, Ethnic, Christian, Top 40, and Adult Contemporary, Country and even LBGTQ2+).
She has worked to foster talent in the Canadian music and broadcasting industry. She has helped to administer ERG’s over $10 million in direct contributions to Canadian artists and talent, and has worked to provide airplay, on-air mentions, and performance opportunities. Carmela is also dedicated to mentoring the next generation of professionals in the broadcasting industry – she introduced an internship program at ERG, and has helped to set up four separate ERG broadcasting endowments across the country at major universities and broadcasting schools.
Outside of ERG, Carmela serves as Secretary of the Canadian Association of Broadcasters Board of Directors, and has been involved in a wide range of broadcasting policy and regulatory work over the years. She is also involved in the broader community, serving as a board member for a number of not-for-profit organizations, supporting community programs and partnership initiatives between business and organizations.
Carmela is a past recipient of the 2011 Trailblazer Canadian Women in Communications Leadership Excellence Awards.
The Rosalie Award is named in honour of Rosalie Trombley, renowned Music Director at Windsor-Detroit Top 40 powerhouse CKLW-AM “The Big 8”, and the first-ever recipient of the Rosalie Award in 2005.
Weezer: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
This is probably the loosest you’ll ever see Weezer. Known for meticulously produced — and electric — live shows, frontman Rivers Cuomo and the rest of the band settled in behind the Tiny Desk for an entirely acoustic set without the in-ear monitors, click track or vocal separation they usually employ to stay locked-in and tight for bigger performances. The result is surprisingly intimate, with songs that feel lived-in and rumpled, like an old flannel shirt from the ’90s.
SET LIST
“Longtime Sunshine”
“Living in L.A.”
“Across the Sea”
“High as a Kite”
