From the excellent new Biffy album “Opposites”, this intro track feels like an 80s throwback, so marked from their earlier material. Descending into thrashy happy madness from epic beginnings, “Different People” sets the album off to a great start, full of upbeat sentiments and unpretentious lyricising. Biffy should be more celebrated than they are – they’re not just the starter of X Factor careers for the likes of Cardle, they’re truly a scintillating band capable of creating greatness.
And they’re fairly well bearded, too.

Ahhh, good old Cliffy Byro (much better name if you ask me). The new album’s dropping shortly (double album don’t you know) and this is classic Biffy territory. Anthemic, powerful and distinctly “them”, this is down with one of their most radio friendly but also appealing tracks yet.
Let’s see if Matt Cardle covers this.
