Living Is A Problem Because Everything Dies

14TH FLOOR RECORDINGS

Further consolidating their position as global rock stars in the waiting, LIVING IS A PROBLEM BECAUSE EVERYTHING DIES is the latest single from Glasgow pop metallers Biffy Clyro.

Working with big name producers GGArth Richardson and Andy Wallace, whose previous credits include Nirvana, Foo Fighters and System Of A Down, Biffy Clyro are taking no prisoners; unleashing stadium slaying hard rock prowess, you can almost smell the money dripping from the high gloss production sheen here. Starting with a bombastic opening section that touches on prog rock excess, Biffy Clyro soon get down to business as usual; melding sky rocketing pop melodies to buffed up guitar rock, the band sounding on world beating form.

Perhaps their finest moment to date, LIVING IS A PROBLEM BECAUSE EVERYTHING DIES finds Biffy Clyro at the top of their game, this is an immense sounding single from a band who keep going from strength to strength.

Formed in 1999 by Simon Neil (vocals,guitar) and the brothers Ben (drums, vocals) and James Johnston (bass, vocals) in Ayrshire, near Glasgow, biffy clyro's debut album BLACKENED SKY was released in 2002 and became one of the sleeper hits of the year. Follow up THE VERTIGO OF BLISS followed in 2003 and was recorded in just one day, capturing the explosive energy of the live shows that keep fans coming back time after time, and makes their fanbase the most dedicated in the UK. The band's third album INFINITY LAND was released in November 2004.

Recorded in Vancouver with veteran producer Garth Richardson (Rage Against The Machine, Kerbdog), mixed in New York by Andy Wallace (Nirvana, At The Drive In) and with artwork by Storm Thurgusson (Pink Floyd, Muse), PUZZLE marks biffy clyro's transformation into a truly world-beating band. It also sees them anchor some of their most outlandish ideas with clear and crisp melodies, packing an emotional punch with 24-carat choruses shot through with biffy's trademark sideways approach to songwriting.

"We've always been very ambitious in the music we wanted to make," says Simon. "It was never just about guitars bass and drums, even though we're a three piece. On our records we've always tried to use as much weird shit as possible."
