Flat-Pack Philosophy is the eighth studio album by English pop punk band Buzzcocks. It was released on 7 March 2006 by record label Cooking Vinyl.
Flat-Pack Philosophy was released on 7 March 2006; it was promoted with a UK tour with support from the Adored.[1] Between March and May 2006, the band played across Europe, which included appearances at the Bourge Festival and Festival of the Arts.[2] Partway through this trek, drummer Phil Barker left the band and was replaced by Danny Farrant.[3] In June 2006, they played a few US East Coast shows prior to joining that year's Warped Tour, and then headlining another month's worth of shows with support from the Adored, the Strays, and Easy Image.[4] [5] [6]
In August 2006, "Sell You Everything" was released as a single, with a live version of "16" and a demo of "Every Day Every Night" as the B-sides. Three months later, the band held two special shows to celebrate their 30th anniversary.[7] On 4 December 2006, "Reconciliation" was released as single, with "See Through You" and "Holding Me Down" as the B-sides.[8] In April and May 2007, they played three Europeans shows, prior to a short South American tour; upon returning to the UK, they played one-off shows in Newcastle and in Spain as part of the Primavera Sound festival.[9]
