John Peel Wiki

Changes to the look of John Peel Wiki will take place in the near future due to a new skin being rolled out over Oct/Nov across Wikia. Please see the Wikia Staff Blog for further details. On this site, the changes will affect the navigation from the left menu, as well as introduce a fixed page width with narrower content space. Please be patient while adjustments are made for the switch to the new system.

UPDATE: As the change is now in force for some users, I have switched the navigation to the simplified one for the new system. Please check Navigation in the Help section if you can't find things. I also initially made small adjustments to the front page layout, but have now reverted to the old look until all users are on the new system.

COUNTDOWN: Just a reminder for people still using Monaco that the final switch to the new skin is due on Nov. 3. After that, it will no longer be offered as an option. Sorry. Nothing to do with me.

John Peel Wiki

Biffy Clyro are a Scottish alternative rock band that formed in Kilmarnock, East Ayrshire in 1995, comprising Simon Neil (guitars, lead vocals), James Johnston (bass, vocals) and Ben Johnston (drums, vocals).  The band have released six studio albums, three of which, Puzzle, Only Revolutions and Opposites reached the top five in the UK Albums Chart. They also claimed their first number one album in the UK Albums Chart with their sixth studio album, Opposites, in 2013.  The band cite influences ranging from heavy metal luminaries like Metallica to prog rock legends Rush, while reviewers are often quick to link their sound to the likes of Nirvana and Foo Fighters - particularly in their use of shifting dynamics which they adapted from Pixies and Fugazi.
