Biffy Clyro

Glitter & Trauma is such a tune. It was the first song I heard by the Scottish trio, Biffy Clyro. I was so confused about what was going on the first time I heard it, I'm pretty sure it fried my brain. These were the guys that opened up a whole new scene of music for me, including bands such as Sucioperro, Reuben and Hundred Reasons. I first saw these guys at V Festival one year. Whilst I stood in awe at their stage presence, all my friends around me were chatting away and not caring about the band. A few months later, nearly all my friends started listening to them aswell. Biffy Clyro formed in Ayre in Scotland in 1995 and have so far released 4 albums and a handful of singles. On every album the band progresses and their sound is slightly modified. For instance, their first album, Blackened Sky, has a more grungey raw feel to it, where as 2007's 'Puzzle' has a poppy sound to it and no screaming. They gained mainstream success with their 4th album 'Puzzle' much to the annoyance of longtime fans. I've seen these guys a total of 5 times (my 6th will be at next weekends Reading Festival) and they are phenomenol.

oh and I can hear V Festival, shame about the line up tonight.
