The band came together in 1995 in a school just outside Glasgow, when childhood friends Simon Neil (vocals/guitar) and twins James (bass/vocals) and Ben Johnston (drums/vocals) started playing music together.
The band were 'united' by their musical inspiration/love for underground, experimental rock and post-hardcore bands such as Guns N' Roses and Metallica. The band have developed their own style of sound; a mixture of soulful choruses, off-kilter tempos and unpredictable guitars. They find the band Red House Painters a major inspiration to them.
Their usual touring brought about more and more fans, The well known band U2 even supported them at a 'Noise Session' at London's Union Chapel. One of their album named 'Only Revolutions' helped the band Biffy Clyro take a major leap forward in success; reaching half a million sales in the UK alone.
