Description

On our 500th episode, we're joined by Biffy Clyro. Simon Neil & James and Ben Johnston take us through early gigs with Hundred Reasons, Hell is for Heroes and Reuben, getting a call to open for Weezer during a bar shift, and how they've managed to keep the fun in the band for 30 years. Their new album Futique - their fourth number one album - is out now. Photo: Eve Pentel
