Biffy Clyro are a Scottish rock group.
It is made of Simon Neil (lead vocals, guitar), James Johnston (vocals, bass guitar) and Ben Johnston (vocals, drums).
In 2007, their fourth album, Puzzle, brought to them international success. Indeed, this album is seen as more accessible and has won wide critical acclaim. Puzzle has been championed on TV and radio, and Biffy Clyro have promoted it with a tour and many festival performances during summer 2007.
Biffy's sound is characterised by a heavy but melodic mixture of guitar, bass and drums, with all three band members contributing to vocals. They are known for complex and interwoven guitar picks, strums and melodies that change many times within each track.
"'Mon the Biffy!" is a well known chant among Biffy fans; usually shouted in between songs at gigs, or before the band comes on stage. The band have never actually disclosed exactly where the name 'Biffy Clyro' originated.
