Often hailed as one of the top rock acts to come from Scotland in recent years, been on the underground radar for most of their career & still to this year (early 2011) are quite unknown despite working their arses off.
Achieved moderate commercial fame from the use of their song ''many of Horror'' being covered by X-Factor winner matt cardle.
Most notable for their time signatures, energetic gigs, Simons screams as he smashes his strings on his guitar during heavier songs, playing topless, thick scottish accents & being very crowd friendly +
Simon their singer at times sounding quite like Cobain & Grohl (see ''eradicate the doubt'')
Genre: alt-rock/
hardcore/indie
Fan chant: MON THE BIFF
Annoying ''
real'' Biffy fans often split the band into ''
old biffy & new biffy'' where the latest two Biffy albums (Puzzle & Only revolutions) are seen as new biffy due to their
change in record company & apparently a
change in their overall sound.
''Theres No Such Thing As A Jaggy Snake'' is often seen as the core song to summarise Biffys
music as it contains all of their trademarks. ''Bodies In Flight'' in my opinion is another good
track to summarise the bands style
Annoying Indie biffy fan: Man Biffy Clyro
suck now, only revolutions was so commercial. They have sold-out & changed their sound, ah the good old days of Infinity Land i wish they still made
music like that
Die hard biffy fan: Firstly shut the fuck up & secondly I beg to differ the likes of ''Get Fucked
Stud/That Golden Rule/Livings A Problem/Cloud Of Stink/Help Me Be Captain'' are still very similar in style to Biffys earlier albums which were gritty rock.
A band doesn'
t owe it to you to keep pumping out the same type album for their entire career, off with you &
go listen to
Oasis if thats what you're after & be happy that Biffy produced something you enjoyed.
