Buzzov-en were a North Carolina sludge punk band with a penchant for out of control live shows. Their last album was in 2001, and Alternative Tentacles has gathered some of their early releases for this retrospective. Their early stuff has a lot of influences, from punk to crust to noise rock to metal to hardcore.
