Album reviews: Klaxons - 'Surfing The Void'...
Forgive us for stating the obvious, but it’s important to remember that ‘Surfing The Void’ is not the album Klaxons wanted to release. If it was, they wouldn’t have handed in whatever gak-prog odyssey it was that they originally did...

1. Klaxons – ‘Echoes’ Of course, if you’ve been to see this band at any point in the last 12 months you’ll be aware of the nuts, bolts and bits of fluoro bolted on top of the bolts of this song. Yet it’s still thrilling to hear a...

“Ere, Barry,” gnashes a goo-splattered gurner pogoing into the Glasgow Academy in a luminous hoodie that looks so radioactive sea rescue helicopters could use it as a homing beacon. He sticks out a bright green tongue at his mate and grimaces...
Shockwaves NME Awards Show: Klaxons, London...
Of all the rave classics that Lovefoxxx could use to launch herself into the masses of Hammersmith, ‘Hey Jude’ isn’t top of the list. Still, it’s their tour, these ravers can do what they like. Tonight the stage is bent beneath the...
