CELEBRATING THEIR SELF-TITLED, 5X PLATINUM SELLING ALBUM
Razorlight, have announced a World tour for November and December to commemorate 20 years since their smash hit, second album, Razorlight.
The release went 5 times platinum, topping the UK album charts, landingthem a UK Number 1 single, and catapulting the four-piece, fronted by Johnny Borrell, into the mainstream.

Support comes from London punk-inspired brother and sister duo The Molotovs, fresh from a UK No. 3 album and a run of blistering shows across the country.
The December 4 date at OVO Arena Wembley will be a celebration of British guitar music, with The K’s joining to
complete a standout three-band bill.
The K’s will also support on the European run.
The Tour will see Razorlight’s four classic members perform the album in full, including
defining classics In The Morning, Before I Fall To Pieces, and I Can’t Stop This Feeling I’ve Got, alongside deep cuts like Hold On, Who Needs Love, and Kirby’s House.
Reflecting on the period of time when Razorlight was written, Borrell remembers "The
album itself started to sound like a greatest hits. That's when you know youre alright.”
He added "Me and Andy fell into this groove of writing, just this amazing musical connection. When you do that, it's like falling in love; just this sort of mutual intoxication
and we just couldn't stop writing.”

One of our favourite 'lost' songs from the 2nd album sessions. I was going around telling everyone i was making the indie 'thriller' and that the stuff we left on the cutting room floor was as good as anything we'd done before. This is an early demo version, cut entirely live, no overdubs, no clicks, no frills - Johnny
