Description
Biffy Clyro is a Scottish band that has toured with Say Anything and Manchester Orchestra and been nominated for a Mercury Prize. "It’s not fashionable, it doesn’t have a haircut, it doesn’t strut about all cocksure in fancy matching military wear. Scottish trio Biffy Clyro is substance over style. ... Biffy Clyro cite a range of influences, like Pixies, Fugazi, Weezer, Rush, Metallica, but always operate on their own terms. They utilise extreme dynamics – 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, ranging from screaming to multi-part harmonies. ... The band themselves are far too humble to take notice of the increasing number of voices calling them 'the British Nirvana.' What they have done is set a watermark, and usher in a new age of British hard rock in the same way Nevermind did all those years ago." --FasterLouder.com
