About Biffy Clyro

For over two decades, Biffy Clyro have carved a unique and indelible path through the rock music landscape. Emerging from Kilmarnock, Scotland, in the late 1990s, the trio of Simon Neil (vocals, guitar), James Johnston (bass, vocals), and Ben Johnston (drums, vocals) quickly distinguished themselves with a sound that defied easy categorisation. Their early work flirted with math rock and progressive elements, showcasing a restless experimentation and a penchant for complex song structures. However, it was their evolution towards a more expansive, stadium-ready rock sound, beginning with albums like Puzzle (2007) and truly blossoming with Only Revolutions (2009), that propelled them into the mainstream consciousness.

Over the years, Biffy Clyro have released a string of critically acclaimed albums, each demonstrating their artistic growth and unwavering commitment to their distinct sonic identity. Albums such as Opposites (2013), a double album of ambitious scope, Ellipsis (2016), which saw them refine their powerful rock sensibilities, and A Celebration of Endings (2020), a triumphant return to their aggressive yet melodic roots, have all been met with widespread praise and commercial success. Their ability to balance introspective lyricism with explosive, arena-filling choruses is a hallmark of their songwriting.

Biffy Clyro are renowned for their dynamic and highly energetic live performances. They are not a band to simply stand and play; they are a force of nature, tearing through their extensive back catalogue with relentless vigour. Their live show is a testament to their musicianship, with the Johnston brothers providing a thunderous and intricate rhythmic foundation that Simon Neil masterfully navigates with his emotive vocals and searing guitar riffs. Their setlists are a carefully curated journey, weaving together fan favourites with newer material, ensuring that every show feels both familiar and exhilaratingly fresh.

Notable hits that have soundtracked the careers of millions include the anthemic “Mountains,” the emotionally charged “Many of Horror” (famously covered by The X Factor winners), the propulsive “Black Chandelier,” the infectious “Wolves of Winter,” and the powerful “Space.” Their discography is rich with songs that have become staples of rock radio and festival stages worldwide, each carrying the distinctive Biffy Clyro fingerprint of raw emotion and undeniable musicality.
