About Biffy Clyro: The Architects of Modern Scottish Rock

Hailing from the Ayrshire town of Kilmarnock, Biffy Clyro have carved a formidable path through the music industry, evolving from an indie rock three-piece into a stadium-filling powerhouse. Formed in 1995 by brothers Simon and Ben Neil, alongside bassist James Johnston, their journey has been one of relentless dedication and artistic growth. They first gained significant traction with their 2007 album “Puzzle,” a critical and commercial success that propelled them into the mainstream. This was followed by a string of chart-topping albums, including the ambitious double LP “Only Revolutions” (2009), the darkly intense “Opposites” (2013), and the more polished, yet still powerful, “Ellipsis” (2016). Their most recent triumphs, “A Celebration of Endings” (2020) and its companion “The Myth of the Happily Ever After” (2022), have further solidified their reputation for crafting intricate, emotionally resonant, and undeniably catchy rock music.

Biffy Clyro’s musical style is a complex tapestry woven from diverse influences. While firmly rooted in alternative and hard rock, they seamlessly blend elements of progressive rock, post-hardcore, and even pop sensibilities into their sound. Their music is characterised by complex song structures, intricate guitar work – often featuring melodic leads and heavy, driving riffs – and Simon Neil’s signature vocal delivery, which can shift from raw, emotive cries to soaring, anthemic choruses. Lyrically, their songs often explore themes of introspection, societal observation, love, loss, and the human condition, delivered with a poetic depth that resonates with their dedicated fanbase.

Throughout their illustrious career, Biffy Clyro have graced the stages of the world’s biggest festivals, including headlining Glastonbury, and have earned critical acclaim for their energetic and captivating live shows. Their ability to connect with a crowd, whether in an intimate club or a vast arena, is unparalleled.

Notable Songs to Expect:

• “Mountains”
• “The Only Exception”

• “Black Chandelier”
• “St. Jimmy” (Green Day Cover, sometimes performed)
