Biffy Clyro are a arena rock band which formed in Kilmarnock, Scotland in 1995 as an alternative rock band. The band consists of Simon Neil (vocals, guitar), James Johnston (bass, vocals) and his twin brother Ben (drums, vocals). Mike Vennart (additional guitar) and Richard 'Gambler' Ingram (Keyboard) both formerly of Oceansize are current touring members of the band. The band cite influences ranging from heavy metal bands such as Metallica to progressive rock band Rush, while reviewers are often quick to link their sound to the likes of Nirvana and Foo Fighters - particularly in their use of shifting dynamics, which they adapted from Pixies and Fugazi.
