Razorlight - "Wire to Wire"
[Video: Pete Maiden/Eric Helton; Editing by Eric Helton]
Razorlight are a massive rock sensation in their native U.K., but have yet to achieve cross-the-pond success in the U.S.A. Will their third album, Slipway Fires (due March 10th) be the charm?
We were lucky enough to welcome frontman (and former British GQ cover man) Johnny Borrell and drummer Andy Burrows swing by the S.S. to play us some tunes from the new album. Check out the single, "Wire to Wire" above, and click the jump for "Hostage of Love."
And should you dig it, then check out Razorlight on the road, as they kick off a mini-tour of the States on March 9th, including three showings at SXSW.

"Razorlight are a massive rock sensation in their native U.K"
They were big over here for about 5 minutes but no one gives a shit about them now, not least their drummer who just quit the band citing "personal reasons". Don't blame him really considering Johnny Borrell is probably the most egotistical twat ever to walk the earth.
"If I saw me I'd want to speak to me, too - I'd think, 'That guy looks like he's from Mars, he's somehow strangely compelling. I don't even look human".
This is a man who was once quoted as saying he was better than Dylan.
Talentless moron.
