Some of the songs that these lads wrote than never made it inot the album are much better than anything I've been able to create. Just shows how much practise makes perfect.
@guitarchannel 8976 They all sing on the majority of the Biffy stuff, especially their earlier stuff- take Breatheher as a good example. However, Ben and James have never taken a sole lead role in any officially release music.
Hearing this is great. The awkward first-demoey-ness (and photo) but with some hopeful ideas glimmering through. And look where they are now. Don't give up hope, kids.
The Go Slow isn't a demo from 1998.it's from a live session they did for BBC in about 2001/2002 i think. The reason i know this is cos it was me that captured this session. You can hear it during the intro that the audio clears up, that was the bit-rate on the stream increasing cos it'd buffered by then. Can't rem what else there was in this session. I captured every session they done at that time but have unfortunately lost them all over time.
Did you get all of these songs from Stow College? My Dad works there and he mastered some of these songs including Sky Blue Velvet, Being Gabriel and Justboy :))
He has a studio version of Sky Blue Velvet and also the album 'Thekidswhopoptodaywillrocktomorrow' (2000) which features Justboy, 57, Hope for an Angel and Less the Product
