Klaxons are a british Alternative Rock/New Rave formed in London in 2005 by Jamie Reynolds, James Righton and Simon Taylor-Davis.

Their music contains examples of:

 * British Accents: And they sing in falsetto, too!
 * Cover Version: "It's Not Over Yet", which was originally by the singer Grace.
 * Ear Worm: Anything off of "Myths of the Near Future", especially "Golden Skans"
 * Magick: The name of one of their songs.
 * Nightmare Fuel: The music videos for Magick and Twin Flames.
 * What Could Have Been: Their second album was supposed to have a Progressive Rock style added to it, but was rejected by Klaxons' label. 5 tracks from the album were released in an EP titled "Landmarks of Lunacy".
