I wasn&#8217;t sure, even after several listens\u00a0whether I liked them or not. I can probably put that down to the fact that I had never heard anything like it before but I agreed to the gig as I knew they had something.\u00a0It\u00a0was at the Carling Academy in Glasgow, which I thought was rather a large venue for such a little known band and I wasn&#8217;t surprised to see that it seemed relatively empty when they took to the stage.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll never forget that night, because nothing could have prepared me for the atmosphere (and noise) created by the three blokes on stage and a small but bonkers crowd of fans. There was a lot of love in that room. At times, I could barley hear the band over the crowd&#8217;s sing-a-long and it&#8217;s way up there on my list of &#8216;best atmosphere at a gig&#8217;. I didn&#8217;t even know half the songs but I left there on a high and the rest of the world soon caught on with the release of their &#8216;Puzzle&#8217; album not long after.<\/p>\n<p>Fast forward and new album Opposites (their 6th) has just scored them their first number one. If you want a taste of what they do to people in a live setting, please head straight to their &#8216;Revelations&#8217; Live At (and tearing up, I might add) Wembley DVD.\u00a0I can&#8217;t think of another band who are not only home-grown but have worked so hard for their success and never compromised themselves. They deserve every bit of it.<\/p>\n<p>All together now &#8211; &#8216;MON THE BIFF!!! at\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.biffyclyro.com\">https:\/\/www.biffyclyro.com<\/a><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I first became aware of The Biff when a loved one gave me their first two albums to try, on the premise that I might [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":3927,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3913","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-music"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
