Reid Shippen String Arrangements By – John Mark Painter Producer – Steve Taylor Recording Assistants – Dave Latto, Paul Skaife, Rich Hanson Buzz is one of the albums from Christian rock band Guardian. The album was released in October 1995 and was produced by Steve Taylor. The album takes the band into the realms of alternative music and grunge common of the 90s. Guardian opened for Taylor in a tour which prompted them to ask him to produce their next album. Taylor was hesitant to do so at first, but then agreed as he became friends of the band. Trivia In the late 1980s, rock and roll was on the brink of a major shift in aesthetic that was going to put a quick and abrupt end to the hype of the “hair metal” subgenre. As the 90s arrived, it was no longer about the stadium sound that bands like Poison, Motley Crue, and Def Leppard had perfected. Rock music became muddier and more complex. The need for fast paced, commanding songs that were made for head banging subsided, and the desire for creating material that showcased deeper tones and lyrical vulnerability arose. Not a lot of the groups that were making such a splash in the later 80s successfully transitioned into the new decade because of this. A handful of bands, however, embraced the change and worked hard to create content that reflected the movement of the genre. For the band Guardian, this was the case, and their album Buzz is excellent evidence of their ability to adapt to the musical transitions that were happening around them. Buzz was the result of a collaboration between Guardian and legendary faith-based producer Steve Taylor. The band’s previous album Sing, Sang, Swung—released in 1994—left them wedged in an odd spot. They weren’t performing in the hair metal style anymore, but they also weren’t a grunge or alternative band. Collaborating with Taylor made all the difference though, and in October of 1995, they released Buzz, and solidified a place in alternative music. The physical album itself was particularly special at its release because there were four variants of the cover available: a photo of astronaut Buzz Aldrin, bees at a beehive, two girls whispering to each other, and a woman giving a young boy a buzzed haircut.
