Biffy Clyro, composed of Simon Neil (vocals, guitar) and brothers Ben (drums) and James Johnston (bass, vocals) founded the band in 1999 in Ayrshire outside Glasgow. Within three years they released their first three albums, 'The Vertigo Of Bliss' was recorded in just one day!
The big breakthrough came in 2007 with the album "Puzzle". A dark album that was written in conjunction with Simon's mother passed away. A partnership was initiated with producer Garth Richardson (Rage Against The Machine, Red Hot Chili Peppers) and their guitar-based rock processing of string compositions by Graeme Revell, known for his works of great films like "Sin City", "The Crow" and "From Dusk Til Dawn".
Todays tune "Bubbles" is the fifth single taken from Biffy Clyro's fifth studio album, Only Revolutions. Josh Homme from Queens of the Stone Age and Them Crooked Vultures provides additional lead guitar in the song. Despite being one of the lower charting songs from the album (reaching #34 on the UK singles chart), it has spent more weeks in the top 100 than any other Biffy Clyro song. And soon the 7th single will be release, yes the 7th single, holy moses.
