REVIEW: Biffy Clyro @ the SECC
 
 

by Jonathan Geddes

IT may have taken Biffy Clyro years before they started to sell-out arenas, but Saturday's show proved the Ayrshire trio can handle the big venues.

With a packed crowd roaring approval at every track, Biffy delivered a lengthy, career-spanning set including chest-thumping rock, head-banging pop-metal and even an acoustic section.

Living Is A Problem and Saturday Superhouse ensured a frantic opening, while several tracks had a grand feel due to a string section, and Folding Stars and Machines showed the band's tender side.

Glitter And Trauma ramped up the tempo again and Mountains had everyone singing before 57 and Now The Action Is On Fire finished off a night that confirmed Biffy as Scotland's kings of rock.
