The group were founded as a break-away group from London male chorus, Eschoir. Their musical output is predominantly made up of 'pop' covers and 'mash-ups' of songs by UK and US-charting artists.

Hailing from London, The Buzztones have performed at the BBC's Pink Tent, also headlining The Bedford, Balham with sell-out shows in 2012, 2013 and 2015. They performed the anthems at the England vs Wales Rugby World Cup match held at Twickenham Stadium on 26 September 2015.

The group's comedic leanings have seen their musical talents being put to use on TV shows such as Channel 4's The Last Leg and Loaded, and BBC Three's Siblings, as well as several appearances on BBC's The One Show.

On 7 May 2018, The Buzztones were crowned as first place winners[1] of the Moscow Spring A Cappella Competition in their group category.
