  • Summary

  • Ask anyone to name the first song that comes to mind when they think of Razorlight and they will probably say "America", their 2006 smash hit from their eponymous second album, released the same year. Not only would this prove to be both their creative and commercial peak, but it would also overshadow their earlier work from their debut album "Up All Night", released in 2004. Whilst nowadays when people think of Razorlight, it's their second album they remember most, it's easy to forget that their first album reached no.3 in the UK album chart, spawned four Top 40 singles (most notably "Golden Touch") and went four times platinum. Unlike the more polished and pop-driven sound of their second album, "Up All Night" was a raw effort that combined the sonic edge of The Strokes with the punk spirit of The Libertines. It may not be the record they're remembered for but it firmly planted them into the British indie rock scene of the early 2000s. On this episode, Tim and Ollie mark the beginning of Season 2 by exploring the band's origins from the "Dalston Set", their troubles in the studio, the explosion in their public profile and their difficulties touring in America.
