Biography
Kilmarnock, United Kingdom (1995 – present)
Biffy, as they are often referred to, utilise a quiet/loud dynamic, constructing songs that can range from a whisper-quiet pick on the guitar, to huge walls of noise with massive distortion and crashing drums. Their sound has simplified somewhat in recent times yet still occasionally contains complex time signatures and heavy riffs. While Simon Neil sings lead, all three members provide vocals. “’mon the biffy!” is a well known chant amongst Biffy fans; it is usually shouted in between songs at gigs, or before the band come on stage. Some fans have reacted poorly to the band’s recent output.
The first incarnation of what would eventually become Biffy Clyro was formed in 1995 by fifteen-year-old Irvine-born, Ayr-raised guitarist Simon Neil, who recruited Kilmarnock-born Ben Johnston and someone known only as Barry on drums and bass respectively, calling themselves Screwfish.

And I was wrong again. They skipped Puzzle and played Glitter And Trauma at Nova Rock -> http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/biffy-clyro/2013/pannonia-fields-ii-nickelsdorf-austria-3bd9c8a0.html

No it isn't. It is an absolute mess of a record with no flow, cheap and lazy songwriting, horrible clichéd lyrics and a production that makes it seem like the record has been buffered by a 5* hotel lobby floor cleaner.

Yeah, but no Puzzle automatically means no 3 previous albums and that sucks so fuckin hard.

That's the worst setlist i've ever seen, and it has nothing to do with there being no Puzzle songs on there. Infact I welcome that aspect with open arms.

What the fuck was that supposed to be BIFFY?! http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/biffy-clyro/2013/zeppelinfeld-nuremberg-germany-13d9ed19.html That setlist is a fuckin disaster! I've picked a drum stick from Ben so I'm a little bit happier but still, not a single song from Puzzle, fuckin joke.

I find Only Revolutions a bit shit.

Really hope Biffy's new album grows on me because at the moment I find it a bit shit. Only Revolutions > Biffy's other albums.

There truly are some shitty songs on Opposites, but there are some brilliant ones on there too. Almost all are even better live too which is awesome. If they keep writing better and better songs again I might not feel as ashamed of liking them wohoo.

I'll be seeing you at the Northside Festival. Can't wait!

Coming from someone who resented large portions of Puzzle and Only Revolutions, Opposites is sounding absolutely top notch on first listen. They're actually ditching the orchestra for a fair few songs and getting back to being properly warped like old times. Thank FUCK!
