About

Razorlight are a London indie rock band formed in 2002 by frontman Johnny Borrell, who remains the group's driving force alongside founding members Björn Ågren, Carl Dalemo and drummer Andy Burrows. Their self-titled 2006 album went five times platinum in the UK, spawning the number one single "America" and cementing their place among the biggest British guitar bands of the mid-2000s. After splitting in 2014 and reforming with the classic line-up in 2021, they released the album "Planet Nowhere" in October 2024 - their first together since 2008 - to strong critical reception.
