The Best (And Worst) Mohawks In Music

As Paul Banks gets a mohican, we look at who else has sported the look...

 

  • Interpol's Paul Banks debuted his mohawk as the band performed 'Lights' on Conan O'Brien's US chat show.

It may have gone unnoticed by most Interpol fans outside of America, but the band's appearance on a US chat show last week saw singer Paul Banks debut a rather interesting mohawk.

Long been the staple ingredient of any punk rocker's image, Banks' decision to adopt the mohican got Gigwise thinking about other music stars who have tried the look.

So in our latest feature, we've managed to track down a host of mohican-sporting musicians – from the obvious ones like Travis Barker of Blink-182 and Green Day's Tre Cool to the not so obvious singers like Ke$ha and The Strokes' Nikolai Fraiture.

You can check out some of the worst mohawks in rock below. Leave your thoughts and suggestions in the comment form at the bottom of the page.
