I have no gift for words, but I speak the truth. Let him run with the pack and I myself will teach him. I had an ill-fitting bear costume, which my mum had made me. There was probably a loaf of bread and some really wafer-thin ham. On some of our tours, we got terrible riders.
We used to stock up on Ginsters sausage rolls. I remember being so hungry in a Travelodge… they used to have storage heaters that took four hours to heat up, if not longer, and I remember putting this sausage roll on this heater and sitting and staring at it for two and a half hours.
It barely heated up at all. The radiator just melted the bottom of the sausage roll. It was disgusting. It was probably Now! I feel quite fortunate that the albums that I liked when I was younger really showed me all the different types of music that were possible out there. He came to our school one time, when we were young, and I got my picture taken with him. I was absolutely speechless. S imon Neil has only just met one of his neighbours. But what else was there?
Almost immediately after the dust settled on A Celebration…, Biffy started work, in secret, on a follow-up. In their rehearsal space on a farm out in Ayrshire, where so much of their writing and jamming has been done, they installed a studio for themselves, and began to write and record.

While the song 'Machines' deals with the process of mourning, overcoming tragedy, and learning that life goes on. Simon Neil formed Biffy Clyro in at sixteen years old recruiting Kilmarnock-born Ben Johnston and someone known only as Barry on drums and bass respectively, calling themselves Screwfish. Barry was soon replaced by James Johnston, Ben's twin brother, and Biffy Clyro was effectively formed.
He also Studied Film and TV for a year before leaving to pursue music full time. By then, Simon's musical tastes had expanded greatly;In , the band were spotted at the Unsigned Bands stage at T in the Park by a Beggars Banquet representative.
Soon after, the band was signed to the independent Beggar's Banquet. Biffy Clyro have since released four albums, signed to a major record label, and toured relentlessly.
