Following the death of co-founder Pete Shelley, Buzzcocks are keeping the band alive with their first new single since his passing in 2018.

The track is called "Gotta Get Better," and you can check out the newly released song, complete with a new video.

The track actually first arrived back in 2014 as a solo single from Buzzcocks member Steve Diggle. Now, though, it's been given the Buzzcocks treatment, meaning it's been turned into a catchy three-minute pop-punk track.

Hear Buzzcocks' new take on "Gotta Get Better" below, where you'll also find the original Diggle solo version.
