Saxon
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, with a debut album, Crusader,
issued on little-known Carrere Records (a label better known for
French disco releases than for daubs of South Yorkshire war
paint).
