Biffy Clyro - Singles 2001-2005 out July 7th

In 2007, Scottish three-piece biffy clyro exploded onto everyone’s radar with their no. 1 album ‘Puzzle’, top three hit singles, coveted festival slots (with unashamedly rock ‘n roll helicopter rides between them) and support slots on the tours of little known bands such as The Who, Rolling Stones and their contemporaries Muse.

Unbeknown to the hoards of new disciples, this was not the band’s beginning, not by a long shot. As the legions of long-time and ever-loyal fans (‘mon the biffy!’) will testify, biffy clyro have been a prolific and exciting force since the late-1990s.

After a spectacular live show at T in the Park in 2000, the band were swiftly signed up by Beggars Banquet. Three glorious studio albums followed, each one as exhilarating, dynamic, experimental and simultaneously melodic as the last – resulting in deserved comparisons with legends such as Nirvana, among others.

‘Singles 2001-2005’ is an album that celebrates biffy clyro’s earlier work and – for the very first time – compiles their (often collectible) singles onto one record. ‘Singles 2001-2005’ is a stand-alone brilliant album and a concise and exciting retrospective for anyone newly discovering Britain’s finest rock band.
