"The International Tweexcore Underground" is a song by UK indie pop band Los Campesinos!. It was released on 15 October 2007 on iTunes, and was released physically on 22 October 2007 on Wichita.
The title of the track is a parody of a series of 7" singles on K Records entitled The International Pop Underground. K Records is home to Calvin Johnson, who originally appeared on one of the B-sides of the single - covers of songs by Heavenly and Black Flag. Both Amelia Fletcher and Henry Rollins are namechecked in the single. K Records are further referenced by Los Campesinos! in the lyrics of "Knee Deep at ATP", a song which appears on their debut album.
This track is not featured on the band's debut album. The video for the single was recorded at The Opera House in Toronto – a venue that Los Campesinos! would return to on April 1, 2009 as part of their North American tour.

Famous quotes containing the word underground:
“Or as, when an underground train, in the tube, stops too long between stations
And the conversation rises and slowly fades into silence
And you see behind every face the mental emptiness deepen
Leaving only the growing terror of nothing to think about....”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
