"Turn the Lights Out" is a single by British Grindie band Hadouken! from their second album, For the Masses. [1] It was released digitally on 20 December 2009, peaking at No. 2 on the UK Electronic Music Chart. [2]
The promotional video for the song shows the band playing in a living room that looks to have been badly scorched and burned. A long haired, unshaven man covered in dirt breaks through the floorboards and picks up a Gramophone record and plays it on a turntable. A gathering of dancing people then appear around the band, and the aforementioned man begins to trash the room. As the video ends the man sits down in his armchair and the record stops playing.
