Filed under: News , Exclusive Warner Canada With the release of their fourth album Pedestrian Verse in February, Scottish indie rockers Frightened Rabbit made a definitive statement that they're in charge of their destiny. The band approached their fourth proper album in a whole new direction -- as a band . "We thought that it was the right time for the band to do something like that [...]

Biffy Clyro is the biggest band you’ve never heard of—if you live in the US, that is. In the UK and continental Europe, the Glaswegian power trio top charts and fill arenas. They win “Best New Band” awards from NME, “Best Music Video” and “Best Live Band” honors, too. But these accomplishments are just the start for brothers James and Ben Johnston and (bass/vocals and drums/vocals, respectively) and frontman/guitarist Simon Neil. Their brand-new album, Opposites, debuted [...]
For a band who once seemed an unlikely commercial prospect, Biffy Clyro have adjusted to arena tours with easy conviction. Even listening to early recordings it’s as if they expected their music to fill places like the O2 long before they managed to achieve such standing. What’s more, judging by the reactions of the crowd, the fans are most definitely making the most of the new spaces they are allowed to play in. Which, according to some including frontman Simon Neil, is somewhat of a miracle that their fans even want to come out to play at all. [...]

By David Beech March 27, 2013 Biffy Clyro are a band who's stage presence and charisma really needs to be seen to be believed. Tonight will be the third time we've seen the band, and, if the previous performances are anything to go by, it's going to be something special. From their performance at the 2010 Leeds Festival, which saw singer Simon Neil throw a monitor off the stage, to their astounding performance at Manchester Central that Winter, each time the band take the stage [...]

Fans of Biffy Clyro will dive headlong into these 20 new songs and embrace them as feverishly as anything the band have previously released; but that's not to say that this record isn't without some major flaws. Biffy Clyro's ascent from Scottish alternative rockers with a small faithful following to one of the 21st century's few arena bothering pop-rock bands has been a success story that few could have predicted. It has been a slow but steady rise through years and years of paying dues and touring tirelessly while releasing albums full of anthemic songs that range from emotionally [...]
Along with the most irreligious of Christmases and the bittersweet final lunchtime of the summer term, the 7 o'clock at which Zane Lowe would enthuse over the line up for the following Reading Festival would always make for a quite monumental date in the schoolboy diary. I wouldn't eat as I'd await his prolix introductions and fashionably belated announcements, butterflies instead swarming about my stomach. And so it came to be upon the ravaged grasslands of Richfield Avenue that I had my first taste of a great many, and indeed many great things [...]
