Biffy Clyro

In the wake of Biffy Clyro‘s announcement of Australian tour dates for April next year, bassist James Johnston kindly took some time out to chat with us about the tour and the experience of live music. The very exciting news, of course, is the Australian tour.  We’re obviously very, very excited to have you coming…

When I spoke with Ben and James Johnston in September, they were adamant that Australia was definitely “on the list” for tour dates.  True to their word, today Biffy Clyro have announced their return to Australia in April next year. The Futique Tour lands in Melbourne on Tuesday, 7 April, then Sydney on Wednesday, 8…

We’ve experienced a drought of shirtless Scottish rock in the four years since Biffy Clyro released their last studio album, The Myth of the Happily Ever After, but today, at long last, we have the release of their much-anticipated tenth album, Futique. The album’s title is a compound word, as explained by Simon Neil, combining…

Ahead of the release of their tenth studio album, Futique, Ben and James Johnston took time out to have a chat with me about embracing the moment, Biffy’s longevity, and their plans to return to Australia soon. Congratulations on the album. It’s a double chef’s kiss. Both: Thank you so much! Number ten! James: Number ten!…

On the eve of their Glastonbury appearance this Friday, Scottish rock gods Biffy Clyro have just announced their upcoming album, Futique.  The will be the tenth studio by the trio, almost exactly four years since the release of “The Myth of the Happily Ever After” which came out back in October 2021. Earlier this month…

It feels an absolute age since Scottish rock gods Biffy Clyro last released new music, with nothing since 2021’s album ‘The Myth of the Happily Ever After’.  At long last, happily, the drought is broken and the trio are back with the release of their new track, “A Little Love”. Debuted at a secret gig…

Scottish rock gods Biffy Clyro aren’t the first band that springs to mind when you think about a seated acoustic gig. Having attended many of their shows over the years I can vouch that it’s more a case of coming out with your ears ringing and your entire body dripping in sweat. If you can…

When you think of Biffy Clyro live you’re most likely to think of a night out which leaves you sweaty, with ringing ears and a raw throat, and possibly some sort of discombobulation at a cellular level. The Scotsmen are known for their high-energy gigs, with raucous sing alongs and lack of upper body clothing…

Mere hours before Biffy Clyro made their triumphant return for Melbourne fans, we find ourselves in the guts of The Forum, where tech crew and band members are readying themselves for showtime. Soon enough, we’re joined by the Johnston brothers – James and Ben – raring to go off the back of a momentous gig in Auckland only a few nights prior….

Some of our favourite Scots are coming back to Australia – it’s been far too long since Biffy Clyro have hit our shores. Mon the Biff. The band has held such a strong connection with Australian fans over the years – whether it was Blackened Sky that caught attention back in 2002, or Puzzles in 2007 that hooked them in, or…
