Razorlight

Razorlight came together in London around singer Johnny Borrell, who had briefly played bass with the Libertines. Their debut album, Up All Night, arrived in the post-Strokes rush of guitar bands, all wiry riffs and Borrell's yelping delivery.

The self-titled second album smoothed things out into big, piano-touched pop rock and topped the UK chart, carried by 'America'. Drummer Andy Burrows, who co-wrote much of that era's material, later left, and Borrell kept the name going with other line-ups. Burrows and the band's founding members later regrouped with Borrell and released Planet Nowhere.
