I saw Biffy Clyro for the first time this year performing third on the bill supporting James in April this year. It would seem that since then the band have gone strength to strength and have massively broadened their fan base especially to a much younger audience. Their last album “Puzzles” was critically acclaimed by most of the rock press who also picked up on their great live performances. The album is full of interesting, intelligent rock songs with melodic acoustic numbers. Biffy Clyro follow a strong tradition of fine Glaswegian bands, well crafted songs with great hooks and melodies. Think of a rockier Del Amitri mixed in with a singalongability of the Foo Fighters.
Simon Neil the lead singer and guitarist is probably the hairiest man in rock, very odd in an interesting kind of way. They are supporting Linkin Park in January next year whilst Linkin Park are utter crap Biffy Clyro would be well worth checking out. 8/10
