Biography

Razorlight is a London band with an international lineup. It was formed by Englishman Johnny Borrell and Swede Bjorn Egren in 2002. As soon as they had been joined by Carl Dalemo and Christian Smith-Pancorvo, Razorlight started laborious rehearsals. They shot their first performances with a video camera. The outcome came up interesting to the management of Toerag Studios, where the band recorded their first demo comprising three songs: Rock'n'Roll Lies, Rip It Up, and In The City. The music by the young musicians impressed John Kennedy so deeply, that decided to give the song airplay on his XFM show before the release of the professionally recorded long player of the band. In 2003, Razorlight continued recording demos. By that time, the band had already acquired their own supporters; meanwhile music recording companies had unleashed a war to win the right to sign up the promising outfit. In the end, Mercury Records prevailed.
