About

Razorlight are a London indie rock band founded in 2002 by singer-guitarist Johnny Borrell, who built their sound around post-punk energy and sharp pop hooks. Their self-titled 2006 album went five times platinum in the UK and gave them their first number one single with 'America'. After years of line-up changes and a hiatus, the classic four-piece - Borrell, guitarist Björn Ågren, bassist Carl Dalemo and drummer Andy Burrows - reunited and released their fifth album, Planet Nowhere, in October 2024.
