Klaxons are an indie rock band, based in London. Following the release of numerous 7-inch vinyls on different independent record labels, as well as the success of previous singles "Magick" and "Golden Skans", the band released their debut album, Myths of the Near Future on 29 January 2007. The album won the 2007 Nationwide Mercury Prize. After playing festivals and headlining tours worldwide (including the NME Indie Rave Tour) during late 2006–2007, the band started working on their follow-up album in July 2007. Jamie Reynolds grew up in Bournemouth and Southampton in his early twenties. He dropped out of studying philosophy at Greenwich University to work in a record shop, before moving to London and being made redundant. He met James Righton and Simon Taylor-Davis, who was his girlfriend's roommate. Righton had been working as a teacher at the time. All three had previously played in various other groups, including Reef and Oasis cover bands. Simon and James grew up in Stratford-upon-Avon, where they attended the same school. They shared a house with members of Pull Tiger Tail in New Cross, London, briefly playing a gig together as 'Hollywood Is a Verb' in 2004. Live tracks from the gig are available on the band's MySpace page.
