BUZZIN'

Buzzin' is Designer Magazine's New Band column featuring a new band every single day of the year.

Launched on New Years Day 2011, the column aims to take the website back to the ethos we first started with in 1999 and just cover great new bands regardless of where there came from.

"Over the past couple of years we've spent a lot of time building up the Designer Magazine name on the gig circuit with some classic showcases; new nights such as Fish, Chips and Rock & Roll; and our regular festivals such as Hungry Pigeon and In The City Fringe Festival. We've put on our favourite Manchester bands, but I think it's important that the younger generation that maybe only know us as gig promoters actually realise it was the music website that started it off for us nearly 11 years ago. It also gives us a chance to talk about some of the amazing bands from all over the country and internationally that we can't always bring to Manchester" Alex McCann, Designer Magazine

Primarily aimed to showcase releasing music indepently and on small independent labels Buzzin' really does give a chance for new bands to break through the major label machine and receive new coverage from the heart of Manchester.
