A video director with long deep links to the Northern European alternative music scene, Claxton&#8217;s specialism is electrifying performance clips, and he&#8217;s made ones for Lower, The Beekeepers, and Midnighter, among others. Tiny Fighter&#8217;s clip sees Karlsson feature as the swaggering star, and entirely suits the mood of the song. Even Spelman, ordinarily quiet and reserved, gets involved in the action.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Tiny Fighter have, in less than 2 years, gone from an arty studio group to one who is capable of filling arenas. They&#8217;re making their way over to the US, where their &#8216;Want Friends&#8217; video and single was launched this month, at Pianos, in New York City. Yesterday, Europe, today, the US, tomorrow, the world.
