Myths have formed around the eclectic
indie rockers Klaxons since their startling Mercury Prize-winning
debut. Real Groove sets out to debunk the theories with guitarist
Simon Taylor-Davis.
As far as the media consuming public
are concerned, Klaxons are on their last chance bid to save their
careers. The ill-fated second album was turned down by record label
Polydor, with drug binges and over indulgent prog rock all part of
their lost weekend in the French and Italian countryside with
producer James Ford. Sent off to musical rehab, anyone would think
the British quartet were punished by being paired up with producer
Ross Robinson, the so-called Godfather of Nu Metal who has worked
with acts such as Limp Bizkit, Korn and Slipknot.
