Biffier than thou

Rumour has it - and possible more than just rumour - there appears to be growing speculation to the point of fact- that the band are to sign to 14th Floor Records, a subsidiary of the Warner giant.

The generally accepted consensus is that the band will release their next album with Beggars, and then move on to pastures newer and greener. Will this see a backlash that other bands such as Idlewild have seen, with the makeup of the fanbase changing dramatically once on a new label. Overall, I think that this is a good thing... Biffy have always been pretty criminally undersold by Beggars, and the level of exposure and profile they had always seemed to be more to do with the band's own work than that of the record company PR machine. There's a lot goes on behind the scenes that we as fans never see, but we're ultimately interested in how much support our band seems to get in public. Under a bigger label with bigger budgets, better and cheaper distribution (and conversely, bigger artistic 'pressures' on the band)

There are rumours on a few industry forums that this is fact, not speculation... there's been no official word from team biffy, other than to keep the faith at present... but the future looks good.
