Razorlight is still charismatic singer/guitarist Johnny Borrell's band. ‘Slipway Fires’ is the title of the new album that was in stores on 20 February, the traditionally so-called ‘difficult third album’. But on ‘Slipway Fires’ Razorlight succeeds in keeping its musical path adventurous, not in the least due to the many fine and not-so-fine moments that they've shared and that are reflected in the new songs - primarily written by Borrell and drummer Andy Burrows. Yet another British band that gradually nears being catalogued with the new draft of Great New British Rock Bands.

Razorlight's debut 'Up All Night' (2004) entered the English album charts at number 1. Quite a stunt, which was started by the sublime and, here too, much played single 'Golden Touch'. The press rightly referred to the typical English sound of Boomtown Rats, The Clash and The Libertines. Their untitled second album catapulted the band into the musical Champions League: classic rock that really makes you happy. Singles 'In The Morning' and 'America' are quite simply pointed, but addicting and also timeless, pop-songs. Their live reputation is a big bonus thanks to stage-beast Borrell.
