BUZZBOMB
BIOGRAPHY:
Bathgate / Falkirk punk band formed in 1997 by Fuzz (vocals), Billy Ross
(bass / vocals), Stu (guitar / vocals) & Tony (drums). Regular gigging helped
them build a following through supports to the likes of The U.K. Subs, The Vibrators
& 999, as well as an appearance at the Punkstravanganza Festival at the Martell
in 2002. Vocalist Fuzz left in 2005, with Billy & Stu taking over. The end
of that year saw the band sign with new Glaswegian label Room 21, with some tracks
to be contributed to a compilation album in 2006. February 2006 saw the band complete
a short Scottish tour with Even In Blackouts, then play a date at a high security
prison. May saw the band supporting Goldblade at the Tavern, Grangemouth, whilst
they finished the year supporting punk legends, The Vibrators.
2007 saw the
band continue live work, whilst Stu put together a new side project with members
of 3 Steps Down & I Stand Alone.
Drummer Tony left the band in the summer to pursue his musical ventures with Ion
Charge. He was replaced by Brett (ex-Z/28),
and the band continued to gig.
In April 2008 they supported Sham 69 in Glasgow,
before releasing their debut album, "Eight The Hard Way". Around this
time, drummer Brett ran the London Marathon.
