The Buggles

The Buggles were a British new wave band formed in the late 1970s, best known for their hit song "Video Killed the Radio Star." Their music blends innovative synthesizers with catchy melodies, reflecting early electronic pop influences. The group was formed by Trevor Horn and Geoff Downes, who later became prominent record producers. The Buggles are credited with capturing the cultural shift from traditional radio and television to the digital and video-driven era, symbolized by their song that became the first music video played on MTV in 1981. Their work highlights the intersection of technology and music during a transformative period in pop culture.
