Easily recognisable amongst other bands from the post-Arctic Monkeys British rock boom, Klaxons are three young men from East London with a sound that immediately distinguishes them from the majority of their contemporaries. Despite only forming at the end of 2005, the band have quickly gathered a devoted fanbase via internet download MySpace, as well as being hailed as one of the finest live acts in the country. Heavily influenced by the rave scene that dominated British dance music during the late '80s and early '90s, the Klaxons blend a euphoric dancefloor spirit and electronic influences into their post-punk template; a template that has seen them dubbed the leaders of the 'New Rave' movement by the British media.
