After making an inspired return last year with the critically acclaimed Planet Nowhere album, the resurgence of Razorlight continues with details of a major UK headline tour. This represents their first full scale tour since the release of the album after the band; Johnny Borrell (vocals and guitar), Björn Ågren (guitar), Carl Dalemo (bass) and Andy Burrows (drums), played a sold-out run of underplay shows last year.
The Razorlight live show captures the spontaneity of the moment; an outpouring of energy and emotion with an unpredictable streak that means that anything can happen, and, as Johnny affirmed on socials recently, with no backing tracks or click tracks required. His charisma provides the focal point, supported by his bandmates’ ability to play both frantically and with finesse. Their setlists are packed with hits, think America, Golden Touch, In The Morning, Somewhere Else and more. Expect new fan favourites from Planet Nowhere to make their mark too.
Johnny says, “I’ve been playing live music for 30 years and I’ve seen so many great bands in my life. Music saved my life a million times and still does. Right now I reckon about ninety percent of the time in rock music, the musicians on stage are playing along to a backing track. A generation of young bands are coming-of-age in a time where doing this is the norm and I’m trying to highlight that musicians playing live without the click or backing track is in danger of becoming a lost art. There’s a world of identity, interaction and creativity that comes when you get off the musical grid. I believe its part of what gives each band its own unique sound.”
