What is it with these bands, eh, not wanting to embrace the genre labels that the music media limit them with? Even when they started it? Eh?
Buzzy buzz buzz band Klaxons have averred that they are not part of this so-called 'new rave' movement, and say they've got nothing to do with it. Okay? The band's Jamie Reynolds says: "It's a joke that's got out of hand, I said it at the start of the year and people just won't stop with it now, it's got nothing to do with us."
He added that his band feel okay about all the hype surrounding them, which is good, because there's a lot of it. "I don't feel pressure 'cos I think we have just made a really good record," he said. "If we had failed in making a good record then I would feel the pressure but we have confidence in the album."
The band's debut 'Myths of the Near Future' is out on 29 Jan.
