Formed in 1999 by Simon Neil (vocals, guitar) and the brothers Ben (drums, vocals) and James Johnston (bass, vocals) in Ayrshire, near Glasgow, biffy clyro’s debut album ‘Blackened Sky’ was released in 2002 and became one of the sleeper hits of the year. Follow-up ‘The Vertigo of Bliss’ followed in 2003 and was recorded in just one day, capturing the explosive energy of the live shows that keep fans coming back time after time, and makes their fanbase the most dedicated in the UK. The band’s third album ‘Infinity Land’ was released in November 2004.

Recorded in Vancouver with veteran producer Garth Richardson (Rage Against The Machine, Kerbdog), mixed in New York by Andy Wallace (Nirvana, At The Drive-In) and with artwork by Storm Thurgusson (Pink Floyd, Muse), ‘Puzzle’ marks biffy clyro’s transformation into a truly world-beating band. It also sees them anchor some of their most outlandish ideas with clear and crisp melodies, packing an emotional punch with 24-carat choruses shot through with biffy's trademark sideways approach to songwriting.

"We've always been very ambitious in the music we wanted to make," says Simon. "It was never just about guitars bass and drums, even though we're a three-piece. On our records we've always tried to use as much weird shit as possible."
