Biffy Clyro Get Roadrunnered

05/18/07
. (PR) Roadrunner Records announces the U.S. acquisition of Glasgow�s latest rock sensation Biffy Clyro, a trio being heralded in some UK circles as �the new Nirvana.� Puzzle is the band�s breakthrough new album, and is garnering massive attention in Britain. It was produced by GGGarth (Rage Against the Machine, Mudvayne, Chevelle, Red Hot Chili Peppers), who brought the band to his Vancouver home to track. Puzzle was engineered by Mike Fraser (AC/DC, Slipknot, Rush, Motley Crue, Jimmy Page) and mixed in New York by Andy Wallace (Nirvana, Slayer, Jeff Buckley). It will be released in the U.S early fall.

Comprised of twin brothers Ben and James Johnston and their high school mate Simon Neil, Biffy Clyro formed when they were teenagers in Scotland and already have three albums under their belts. Puzzle, their fourth and most prolific album is poised to be the voice of a new era of British hard rock. A mix of Nirvana meets Muse meets Fugazi, the music encompasses a masterful combination of power chords, sweet melodies, insightful lyrics crushing riffs, marching beats, even some orchestral elements courtesy of the Seattle Symphony Orchestra.

�I'm really excited to be working with Biffy Clyro, they are such a creative and unique rock band and their live show is so powerful,� Says Roadrunner A&R man Ron Burman, who signed the band. �Their new record Puzzle is deep with great lyrics and hooks that stay with you for days. The band has honed their skills and built a devout following in the UK, thanks to their stellar songwriting and extensive touring. We're psyched to have them be part of our U.S. Roadrunner family.�
