It doesn't happen often that a song absolutely grabs me on first listen. When it does, I usually listen to said song on repeat for a few months.
This song will probably turn into that.
Biffy Clyro is a band from the UK that dates back all the way to 1995. They have released 5 albums, the latest being 2009's "Only Revolutions." They're just starting to break here in the US with the power of their single "Many of Horror." But there IS some controversy with this song. Not in the content or lyrics or anything, but because of Britain's "X-Factor." You know the TV show Simon Cowell dumped American Idol to be on this fall? It's huge in the UK. And last season's winner, Matt Cardle, released his own version of this song as HIS first single. The band didn't like it too much, and told it's fans to buy THEIR version, not his.
The result? Matt's version hit #1. Biffy Clyro's hit #8. Not too shabby. And they get royalties on both versions.
Enjoy "Many of Horror" by Biffy Clyro. And if you're interested, Matt Cardle's version of the song (titled "When We Collide") can be viewed HERE
