It’s the week before the release of Biffy Clyro’s tenth studio album, Futique, and the excitement and anticipation in the central London hotel room they’re holed up in for a day of promo is palpable. Sitting in their on-stage formation – frontman Simon Neil and bassist James Johnston to the front, Johnston’s twin brother, drummer Ben, between them to the back – they’re buzzing at the idea of sending it out into the world.
“I love this moment just before a record comes out,” says James. “It's like that feeling when you've got a little bit of a secret to share. I can’t wait for people to hear it.”
