- Biffy Clyro is a Scottish rock band from Ayrshire, comprising Simon Neil (vocals, guitar), James Johnston (bass, vocals) and Ben Johnston (drums, vocals). The band expanded their following significantly with the release of their fourth studio album, Puzzle in 2007. The album was released to widespread critical acclaim, and went gold in the UK selling over 100,000 units. This band's popularity was built upon further in 2008 and 2009 with the release of the singles "Mountains" and "That Golden Rule", which both reached the top 10 of the UK singles chart. The band's sound is characterised by a heavy, yet melodic, mixture of guitar, bass and drums, with all three band members contributing to vocals. They are known for complex and interwoven guitar riffs, chord sequences and melodies that often change throughout songs. "'Mon the Biffy!" is a well known chant among Biffy fans. ; usually shouted in between songs at gigs, or before the band comes on stage. This was later augmented into "'Mon The Biff!" when incorrectly said by Zane Lowe when announcing singles from Puzzle. The band have never actually disclosed exactly where the name 'Biffy Clyro' originated. They have a series of stories as to how the name came about, whilst being interviewed on Soccer AM the band stated that they named themselves after a footballer called Biffy Clyro who played for Scottish side Ayr United also admitting that they make up stories about how they are named because they are bored of being asked the same question. Another story is that one of the members owned a Cliff Richard pen, i. e Cliffy Biro', which was accidentally spoonerised on a drunken night out. The name Biffy Clyro has also been claimed in another interview to come from an acronym for "Big Imagination For Feeling Young 'Cos Life Yearns Real Optimism". The band also state in an interview for Blacony TV that the band name was that of a Finnish footballer from the 17th century.

- Biffy Clyro est un groupe de rock alternatif écossais originaire de Ayr et de Kilmarnock. Il est composé de trois musiciens : le guitariste et chanteur Simon Neil, ainsi que les jumeaux James (basse) et Ben (batterie) Johnston. Malgré une apparente tranquillité au niveau des mélodies, celles-ci se construisent autour d'un mur de son énorme, avec des sons distendus et une batterie puissante. Lorsque Simon Neil chante, les autres membres du trio chantent en chœur derrière, ce qui assure des mélodies délicates, malgré une voix rugissante. Le groupe cite lui-même des influences telles que Sunny Day Real Estate, Rush. Quant aux critiques, ils les comparent bien souvent au groupe Nirvana. Ils ont enregistré quatre albums et dix-sept singles, tout en tournant intensément depuis 1998. En 2000, leur tout premier single "27" a été élu single de la semaine par le groupe américain Taproot dans le magazine Kerrang!. Depuis, ils ont enchaîné les succès, rentrant assez régulièrement dans les charts britanniques et américains.

- Biffy Clyro är en skotsk rockgrupp från Ayrshire, bestående av Simon Neil (sång, gitarr), James Johnston (bas, sång) samt Ben Johnston (trummor, sång).

Sedan 2002 har de dock som bandet Biffy Clyro släppt fyra studioinspelade album, Blackened Sky, The Vertigo of Bliss och Infinity Land, men det är efter deras senaste album, Puzzle, som kom ut 2007, som de fått sitt stora genombrott.

De är välkända för komplexa, sammanvävda gitarriff, ackordsekvenser och melodier som ofta förändras genom sången.
