Biffy Clyro
Having championed these guys since they were unsigned and watched their slow but meteoric ascent to modern-day ‘Rock Gods’, I’m delighted to continue to sing the praises of the mighty Biffy Clyro. There was a day when their hardcore following and I were the only people who sang their praises. Now everyone’s in on it, and wants a piece of the action… across the media! Quite right too.

As they release their 5th LP proper ‘Only Revolutions’ and embark on a Global tour schedule for the next 18 months, it’s only a matter of time before they make their complete transition to the mainstream, lodging themselves in the public’s consciousness.
…
Already there in Scotland, and now a top 10 act in the UK, they need that next step to conquer the USA, Far-East and Europe. If anyone can do it, it’s this anthemic and yet incredibly-inventive power trio from Kilmarnock… ‘Mon the Biffy!

Also on tour this week: Camera Obscura, The Twilight Sad, Lloyd Cole, Dananananaykroyd, Paolo Nutini, Rustie, Hudson Mohawke, FOUND, Franz Ferdinand, The Cinematics and The Proclaimers. See all dates below.
