'punk band' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.

'raises excitement at the start' is the wordplay.
'raises' becomes 'cocks' (I've seen this before).
'excitement' becomes 'buzz' (I've seen this before).
'at the start' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'cocks' put after 'buzz' is 'BUZZCOCKS'.
