Press Reviews 'I like it--like a boil or a wart it is growing on me and I can't seem to shake it off' Todd Borchert, Music Man; 'Wacky stuff from the west! BC native Biffy mixes up a bit of Beck's beats and something that reminds us of Marilyn Manson Vocals and produces a song thats different enough to get noticed' Moose Radio; 'Well, if Bob Dylan was a pop star (which, given the commercial success of "Like A Rolling Stone" and others, you could certainly argue) and the Revolting Cocks were a synth band (which, far as they may have been from Depeche Mode, they technically were), then Biffy Perdu can maybe be called a synth-pop artist. Give this track a listen. It's certainly different - and thus good for your brain' 100% Unnatural
