Biffy Clyro - 57 (Beggars Banquet)
UK release date: February 4 2002
Biffy Clyro - 57
Biffy Clyro, set to release their debut album Blackened Sky, give their rapidly building fanbase another taste of what to expect with new single 57, out on February 4 on Beggars Banquet.

For those who like their rock sans-quantized guitars (ie. old-metal rather than nu-metal), Glasgow's finest show how it should be done.

Huge riffs remind of The Smashing Pumpkins circa Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, as do fragile and much quieter sections in the excellent Hope For An Angel, which backs the main single together with Time Is An Emploding Unit / Waiting For Green.
