They Say:

In less than two years the Mercury Award winning Klaxons have gone from a nebulous but strangely spot-on ‘concept’ combining indie-rock with early 90s hardcore rave to a fully fledged members of the indie rock establishment, a band that burst with original ideas, a untouchable creative vision and a sound that they can truly call their own.

With their stew of cosmic imagery, avant-garde awareness, dizzy melodies and raging energy, Klaxons became a cultural moment of 2007.
