Hottest video of the week

Biffy Clyro - ‘Who’s Got A Match?’

Tim Mattia, director: "It wasn’t a high-concept video, we just wanted to capture them in a moment in time. 2007 was Biffy’s biggest year so far – the album’s done amazingly well and they’ve been everywhere – so the idea was just to film them on their victory lap. The gig was at Brixton Academy and there was a real ‘I was there’ kind of atmosphere. I think all the front row had ‘Mon The Biffy’ written on their faces in marker. I was with the band for the whole gig and I noticed how ritualistic they are, especially before they go onstage. They practise their singing together and there’s a lot of hugging, too. They’re obviously very close as people and I think that bond is part of why they’re such a good band."
