In this short and unofficial biography of Pete Shelley and the Buzzcocks, Colin Burrowes uses personal anecdotes and documented history to introduce one of British punk's most seminal figures to the uninitiated. Burrowes digs deeper into the past of Shelley, notably exploring his queer identity and how that echoes and resonates with numerous other musicians.
