Biff Bang Pow! was an influential indie rock band that flourished during the 1980s and early 1990s, hailing from the United Kingdom. The group was formed in 1983 by Alan McGee, who would later become renowned as the founder of Creation Records, a label that helped launch the careers of seminal bands such as Oasis and Primal Scream. As the label's fortunes soared, so too did the profile of Biff Bang Pow!, which drew its name from a song by the 1960s band The Creation, one of McGee's key inspirations.

The music of Biff Bang Pow! was characterized by its jangly guitar riffs, introspective lyrics, and a hybrid sound that bridged the gap between the psychedelic leanings of 60s rock and the post-punk, DIY ethos of the 80s indie scene. Throughout their career, they maintained a prolific output, releasing albums such as "The Girl Who Runs The Beat Hotel" and "Oblivion," with 1991's "Me" being their final studio album. Despite never achieving mainstream success, the band had a strong cult following and left a lasting imprint on the indie genre. The retrospective collection "A Better Life: Complete Creations 1984-1991" encapsulates their creative journey, offering new and old fans alike a comprehensive look into the soulful artistry of Biff Bang Pow!.
