Known for their anthemic alt rock, Scotland's Biffy Clyro are a dynamic power trio marked by the throaty lead-vocal brogue of singer/guitarist Simon Neil. Emerging in the early 2000s, the band drew loyal fans with their grunge, hardcore, and prog rock-influenced sound that found them combining hooky choruses with unusual song forms and galloping rhythmic meters. While their early albums helped build their fan base in Great Britain, they broke through to an international audience with 2009's Only Revolutions, which peaked at number three on the U.K. album charts and earned a Mercury Prize nomination.
