Scottish, melodic, Foo Fighters Burning Airlines et al loving, rock chaps Biffy Clyro have teamed up with DiS to promote their forthcoming tour. We'll be heading out on the road with band for a few dates too and sploshing flyers around gigs, towns and cities over coming weeks - if you fancy helping with that, please get in touch.
The band have a new album due in a few months and on March 24th they release the first single from it entitled 'The Ideal Height' via Beggars Banquet. You may have seen Biffy touring in 2002 with The Cooper Temple Clause or currently with InMe or will have caught their big single '57' - but we shouldn't need to introduce them to most of you!
There will be a tour support (to be announced!) and we'll be picking our favourite local acts to open the shows. If you'd like to suggest a band mail biffyrockandsodoes@drownedinsound.com - please include links to mp3s (not the actual files) and do NOT get all your fans to hassle us, we won't be impressed!.
