Klaxons mystery B-side revealed

The Klaxons

London band take credit for hijack

The mystery of the track that sneaked onto a Klaxons B-side has been revealed.

As previously reported, 500 copies of the limited edition seven-inch version of ’It’s Not Over Yet’ was pressed with one side playing the single and the flipside featuring a unique etching.

However, instead of an etching it was actually a mystery song.

NME.COM can now reveal the song was 'Y.O.Y' by London girlband The Priscillas.

A mysterious statement says: “The girls are just as baffled as to how the track got there. Maybe some magic or mysterious forces have been in action? ..a superhero perhaps?”

Speaking to NME.COM the band said: "Some fans emailed us. We didn't believe them. We still don't.

"We’re all fans of the boys. It’s weird – that song seems to be the reverse of a cursed song. It’s a blessed song."

Mysterious forces perhaps, although the fact they waited to claim their song as their own until the week (August 20) the track was released as the B-side of the track ’Superhero’ suggests otherwise.
