Biffy Clyro are a Scottish alternative rock group formed in the mid-nineties in Ayrshire, Scotland. The band is made up of singer and guitarist Simon Neil and twins James and Ben Johnson on Bass and Drums respectively. They spent the late-nineties and early 2000s in relative obscurity and built a cult fanbase. Their fourth album 'Puzzle', released in 2007, served to be their breakthrough and exposed them to a much wider audience. Their popularity has increased since then and their fifth album has placed them as one of the biggest British rock bands, even gaining them a top ten single with 'Many of Horror'.
As befits an alternative rock band, their style has been reasonably varied over their career. Their early albums consisted of post-hardcore and art-rock. From 'Puzzle' onwards their music has maintained the fundamental stylings of their earlier work, but it has been polished up and their albums contain some softer songs.
