Klaxons are an
indie rock band from
London that was formed in
2005. They make upbeat rock music with and adding musical effects that contribute to a fantastical or otherworldly feeling to their songs. Their early releases draw heavily from the old-school
UK rave scene of the late
80s and early
90s. Because of the rave influences that color their music and fashion sense, Klaxons are often credited for founding the revivalist "New Rave" movement, although they are generally reluctant to accept the credit.
