Razorlight is an English-Swedish indie rock band formed in 2002. They are primarily known in their home countries, having topped the charts with the 2006 single America and its parent self-titled album, their second. The band consists of lead singer and rhythmic guitarist Johnny Borrell, guitarist Björn Ågren, bass guitarist Carl Gustaf Dalemo and drummer David Sullivan-Kaplan ("Skully"). At the beginning of their career Johnny Borrell's new outfit spent six months rehearsing in a decaying factory space in east London. After his earlier incarnation as a solo acoustic singer songwriter supporting bands like The Libertines Johnny Borrell fashioned Razorlight as an intense electric rock band with hooky songs and took the band out on the road. On 17th September 2002 they played their first show with all four founder members at London Dingwalls, supporting The Von Bondies. Early recordings took place at Liam Watson's Toerag Studios after manager Roger Morton took rehearsal demos into A&Rs at Warner Music Group. The band worked with Watson and early collaborator John Fortis to produce the tracks "Rip It Up", "Rock 'n' Roll Lies" and "In the City". Off the back of these tracks they began getting serious A&R heat due to the songs' success on radio stations such as John Kennedy Show on XFM.
