About Biffy Clyro

Hailing from Kilmarnock, Scotland, Biffy Clyro have carved a unique and indelible path through the rock music landscape since their formation in 1995. Initially a trio of Simon Neil (vocals, guitar), James Johnston (bass, vocals), and Ben Johnston (drums, vocals), the band quickly distinguished themselves with a potent blend of intricate musicianship, unconventional song structures, and a fiercely honest lyrical approach. Their early material, often characterised by a raw, almost post-hardcore intensity, garnered a dedicated underground following.

However, it was their breakthrough album, Puzzle (2007), that catapulted them into the mainstream consciousness. Featuring anthems like “Living Is a Problem Because Everything Dies” and “Semi-Mental,” the album showcased a more polished yet still undeniably powerful sound, proving their ability to craft stadium-ready rock without sacrificing their artistic integrity. This momentum continued with subsequent releases, each exploring new sonic territories while retaining the core Biffy Clyro DNA.

Only Revolutions (2009) further solidified their status, giving us fan favourites like “Mountains” and “Biblical,” tracks that became festival staples and radio hits. Their ambitious double album Opposites (2013) was a monumental undertaking, exploring themes of duality and resilience, and yielded powerful singles such as “Struggles for What It Is” and “Black Chandelier.” More recently, albums like Ellipsis (2016), A Celebration of Endings (2020), and The Myth of the Happily Ever After (2021) have demonstrated their continued creative vitality, exploring mature themes with a signature blend of soaring melodies and guttural ferocity. Biffy Clyro are not just a band; they are a force of nature, consistently reinventing themselves while remaining true to their explosive and emotionally resonant sound. Their live performances are legendary, a testament to their enduring passion and their profound connection with their audience.
