About Biffy Clyro

Hailing from Kilmarnock, Scotland, Biffy Clyro have carved out a formidable reputation as one of the most dynamic and enduring rock bands of the 21st century. Formed in 1995 by frontman Simon Neil and twin brothers James and Ben Johnston on bass and drums respectively, the trio have consistently pushed sonic boundaries while retaining a potent knack for crafting universally resonant anthems. Their early years were marked by a relentless touring schedule and a fiercely independent spirit, gradually building a devoted fanbase with their raw, often experimental sound.

Their breakthrough into the mainstream came with the release of Puzzle in 2007, a critically acclaimed album that featured hit singles like “Living Is a Problem Because Everything Dies” and “Machines.” However, it was the subsequent albums, Only Revolutions (2009) and Opposites (2013), that cemented their status as global rock heavyweights. Only Revolutions delivered iconic tracks such as the stadium-sized “Mountains,” the pulsating “The Only Exception,” and the emotionally charged “Many of Horror” (also known as “When We Collide” for its radio edit). Opposites, a sprawling double album, showcased their ambition with a diverse range of sonic textures and powerful storytelling.

Biffy Clyro continued their ascent with Ellipsis (2016), which spawned further hits like “Wolf at the Door” and “Friends or Foes,” before delivering the more introspective yet equally powerful A Moment of Violence (2020). Most recently, their critically acclaimed album The Myth of the Happily Ever After (2022) demonstrated their continued creative vitality, proving they still possess the hunger and passion that has defined their career. Throughout their evolution, Biffy Clyro have remained celebrated for their intricate musicianship, Simon Neil’s distinctive vocal delivery, and their ability to seamlessly blend introspection with explosive, crowd-pleasing rock.
