In a simply world, Biffy Clyro could be ironed-on Glasto headliners; few British rock bands have so effortlessly blended the anthemic with the angular, the emotional with the straight-up eccentric. And but, regardless of primary albums and a passionate UK following, it feels just like the mainstream by no means fairly absolutely embraced their unwieldy model of hook-laden alt-rock.

“We’ve performed this competition seven or eight occasions and every time is our favorite,” Simon says with a smile. You possibly can consider it: Biffy may not be Glasto headliners, however you are concerned for anybody that has to comply with them.
