Biffy Clyro Go With The Flow

added 06 August 2004 at 10.04

Prolific Scottish three-piece and number one downloaded recording artists Biffy Clyro on being bigger than Avril Lavigne and why they never stop writing. Plus hear them play exclusively live.

Since their 2002 debut, 'The Vertigo of Bliss', Biffy Clyro have consistently delivered an album each year since then, a work rate that puts most of their peers to shame. New single 'Glitter And Trauma' is the first taste of forthcoming third album 'Infinityland', due out in October.

Equally at home amongst the leather and studs of the Download festival, or the cloudy atmosphere of Camden's indie-est indie pit, Biffy Clyro have also recently topped the freshly minted download chart, a feat that saw their eccentric not-quite-post-rock stylings sitting atop doe-eyed punk-ish pixie Avril Lavigne.

The threesome hit Music: Response to talk eclecticism, spontaneity and creativity with Ian Camfield [listen]

Biffy Clyro 'Glitter & Trauma' [Dial-Up] [Broadband]
Swings from At The Drive-In style cadence to more traditional muscular riffage like a promiscuous guitar tech trying to impress a diverse succession of groupies.

Biffy Clyro 'There's No Such Thing As A Jaggy Snake' [Dial-Up] [Broadband]
Bemusingly titled stop/start screamfest that rapidly takes a sinister turn into the land of distorted growling.
