Despite there still being some people who have never heard of this Scottish trio, the venue was brimming with punters of all ages, both enthusiastic fans and more casual appreciators of their distinct and alternative sound; the atmosphere was amazing as everyone waited for the first night of Biffy Clyro’s UK tour to get underway.

Just before nine-thirty the band came out. There was nothing fancy, no stage effects, just dimmed lights and high anticipation. Suddenly the trio leapt into ‘That Golden Rule’ and the crowd practically went into frenzy. If there’s one thing to really praise Biffy Clyro for in a live performance it’s their precision – the song was played perfectly, with Simon’s vocals being on absolute top form, even on the highest of screeches. This level of precision in their performance was maintained throughout the whole night. ‘That Golden Rule’ is the second single from their forth-coming album Only Revolutions and the first of a number of new tracks showcased on the night. From the material played, it sounds like the new album will be a definite purchase.
