Saxon vocalist Peter "Biff" Byford is a Yorkshireman
with strictly old-school values. Once photographed enjoying a cup
of tea while his wife washed his car with her broken arm in a
sling, he likes his Metal plain and simple.
Saxon
are best remembered for early-80s hits such as Wheels Of Steel
and 747 (Strangers In The Night); thunderous gauche heavy
metal anthems delivered with indomitable gusto.
After years in the wilderness labouring under the unfortunate
moniker of Son Of A Bitch, Saxon suddenly burst forth in big style
from Barnsley, South Yorkshire, in 1979 with a debut album issued
on little-known Carrere Records (a label better known for French
disco releases than for daubs of South Yorkshire war paint).
