Biffy Clyro!

Was wondering how many fellow PJ fans are into biffy clyro... they've been one of my favourite bands for around 4/5 years now and iv seen them seven times! they are a truly excellent live band and are all stellar musicians, they are starting to get really well known in he UK and the newest album 'Only Revolutions' is brilliant.

I am massive fan of all their albums, i personally think that 'Infinity Land' is awesome, and being the first biffy album i owned will always have a place in my heart

To any new comers i would always recommend 'Puzzle' however... but the other two 'Blackened Sky' and 'The Vertigo of Bliss' are well worth a spin, but are a little more challenging, particularly the latter.

I just think that there's a lot there for us PJ fans to dig... anyways i urge you to check them out, and let me know what you think if you already have...

    Awesome band - they and Frightened Rabbitt are best British bands by a country mile.
    Saw them in Manchester last Sat and they were unbelievably good - "revolutions" is a brilliant way in for new fans, accessible but no mainstream - it is a gem. But as you say, so much good stuff in their back catalogue too.
    PJ fans are missing out if they dont check them out. I think Revolutions in streaming now on their Myspace page.

    Yea I love them. Not heard much of their early stuff, only got into them during Infinity Land but that was just a passing. Puzzles and Only Revolutions are two amazing albums. And Simon Neill must have one of the thickest Scottish singing voices next to the Proclaimers!

    I didn't like them too much when I first hear them a couple of years ago, so I dismissed them. But the newest single really impressed me. I must delve in a bit deeper and see what I think.

    Yes, love them.

    I'm only into Puzzle at the moment, haven't gone further than that. But no doubt my mate will soon change that!

    Greatly looking forward to catching Biffy Clyro at Coachella . Fantastic live band as others have pointed out.

    They are coming to Toronto on October 4, but I won't be able to see them because I will go see Nine Inch Nails that same day. I can't sell my NIN ticket because it is through ther NIN.com pre-sale and I can only pick up the ticket on the day of the show and must enter the venue afterward. I did see Biffy Clyro opening for Muse on April 10 though and they were good.

    Nice, I instantly thought that it is PJ+Deftones crossover. Like it!
