About Biffy Clyro

Biffy Clyro are a Scottish rock band that formed in Kilmarnock, composed of Simon Neil (lead vocals, guitar) and twin brothers James (bass, backing vocals) and Ben Johnston (drums, backing vocals). Currently signed to 14th Floor Records, they have released nine studio albums, and following their first three albums, the band expanded their following significantly in 2007 with the release of their fourth album Puzzle, which peaked at No. 2 on the UK Albums Chart and was awarded a Platinum certification by the BPI. Their fifth album, Only Revolutions (2009) reached number three in the United Kingdom, and went Gold within days of its release before achieving double-platinum status in August 2011. The album also received a Mercury Music Prize nomination. Only Revolutions included the commercially successful singles "Mountains", "That Golden Rule", and "Many of Horror", all of which reached the UK Top Ten. The latter reached No. 8 on the UK Singles Chart after The X Factor 2010 winner, Matt Cardle covered the song, and became the UK number one Christmas single for the year 2010. In 2011, the band was nominated for the Brit Awards for Best British Group. At the 2013 NME Awards, they received the award for Best British Band. Their sixth studio album, the double album Opposites was released in 2013, and was their first album to reach number one in the United Kingdom, and their second to reach number one in Scotland. They have since released a further three albums – Ellipsis (2016), A Celebration of Endings (2020) and The Myth of the Happily Ever After (2021) – all of which achieved considerable commercial success across Europe.
