Tune of the Week: Magazine

Magazine is a post punk band from Manchester, UK. Singer and songwriter Howard DeVoto established the band in order to create a more progressive rock band than he had previously been in: Buzzcocks. Not only did their style influence future big acts, but members of the band subsequently went on to help form other band of note. This clip, filmed in Los Angeles in 1980, shows off the power of the band. It was used in the mammoth new wave concert film, “URGH! A Music War”.
