Biffy Clyro have responded to allegations made by Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor who claimed on Twitter that the Scottish rock band 'fucked' the production for their set at Reading Festival.
Nine Inch Nails were due to perform before the Scottish headliners at both Reading and Leeds however Reznor took to Twitter before their Reading performance, lashing out at both the promoters and Biffy Clyro.
Should be an unusual show tonight at Reading...

...the lying promoter and the band following us (whoever the fuck they are) fucked us on our production.

Biffy frontman Simon Neil responded to Reznor's allegations in an interview with Faster Louder, stating "He basically spat his dummy out and decided to take it out on us."
"Nine Inch Nails are a huge band and they've been headlining loads of festivals everywhere and I think their manager or someone told him they weren't headlining Reading and Leeds, God forbid."

Neil continued, "He played with us on the Friday night and there was no problem. He didn't care about the Leeds bands obviously and he knew damn fine who we were, so I think he was just being obnoxious."
Despite the band's annoyance at Reznor's claims they decided not to respond, resisting the urge to tweet him back.
