Buzz Bin

Loud, weird, brand-new rotation.

The unsigned-looking weirdos that 120 Minutes and modern-rock radio shoved into heavy rotation before anyone called it alternative. US noise rock and UK grebo collide — too loud for the mainstream, too catchy for the basement.

▸ Did you know

  • MTV's actual 'Buzz Bin' was a literal slot for a clip or two in nonstop rotation — for a few weeks in 1991 a Stourbridge grebo band could share it with a noise-rock outfit on a tiny indie label.
  • British press coined 'grebo' for the long-haired, baggy-shorts Midlands bands like PWEI and Ned's Atomic Dustbin — who once fielded two bass players just to sound heavier.
