built his own rocket and was the first man in space. 'Mon the Biffy! or, in more recent times, 'Mon the Biff!, are well known chants among Biffy Clyro fans, usually shouted in between songs at gigs, or before the band comes on stage. Influences The band cite influences ranging from heavy metal bands such as Metallica and post-hardcore bands like At the Drive-In to progressive rock band Rush, while reviewers are often quick to link their sound to Nirvana and Foo Fighters – particularly in their use of shifting dynamics, which they adapted from Pixies and Fugazi. Mark Z. Danielewski's second novel Only Revolutions was influential for the album Only Revolutions; the band have since met Danielewski, discovering that he was a fan when he attended one of their shows.
