Biffy, as they are often referred to, utilise a quiet/loud dynamic, constructing songs that can range from a whisper-quiet pick on the guitar, to huge walls of noise with massive distortion and crashing drums. While Simon Neil sings lead, all three members provide vocals. “’mon the biffy!” is a well known chant amongst Biffy fans; it is usually shouted in between songs at gigs, or before the band come on stage.
The first incarnation of what would eventually become Biffy Clyro was formed in 1995 by fifteen-year-old Irvine-born, Ayr-raised guitarist Simon Neil, who recruited Kilmarnock-born Ben Johnston and someone known only as Barry on drums and bass respectively, calling themselves Screwfish. Barry was soon replaced by James Johnston, Ben’s twin brother, and the three spent the next two years rehearsing, writing and covering songs. In 1997, they played their first gig as the support for a band called Pink Kross at a local youth centre. The trio then moved to Glasgow, where Neil went to the University of Glasgow and the Johnston twins went to Stow College, studying Audio Engineering and Electronics with Music respectively.They then progressed onto the bigger stage
After playing gigs around Glasgow and receiving positive and enthusiastic reactions from the audiences, the band were spotted by Dee Bahl, who soon became their manager. (read more)

I loved Infinity Land too, but Vertigo is my fave Biffy album by far. I'm still mad about Puzzle even though the older stuff is more musically interesting. What's wrong with a singalong now and again? Blackened Sky is my least favourite, yet Stress On The Sky is one of my favourite songs ever. They are wonderfull whatever is said. (Didn't think much of the BBC coverage of Glasto though...only Puzzle stuff!)

"you cant find mountains cus they havent recorded yet its a new song for live shows" That'll be why Radio 1 played a properly recorded version? :P As for the "Puzzle" debate - sure, it's a lot simpler in it's construction than their earlier efforts (especiall IL) but it's still a great album - Who's Got a Match, Saturday Superhouse, As Dust Dances et al still get stuck i
