Razorlight is an Anglo-Swedish band formed in 2002 by singer-songwriter Johnny Borrell.

At the start of their career Johnny Borrell's new outfit began by supporting The Libertines at various venues (including 333 in Old Street) where a young A&R scout, Justin Cross, found them and with his own money put them in Liam Watson's Toerag Studios where John Fortis produced the tracks "Rip It Up", "Rock 'n' Roll Lies" and "In The City".

Off the back of these tracks the band (now named Razorlight) began getting serious A&R heat due to the songs success on radio stations such as John Kennedy.

The band became very popular on the London music scene. Large demand caused the band to play extra shows, including a 7,000+ capacity gig at Alexandra Palace. The album was heavily marketed in the UK.

Up All Night was re-issued in April 2005, including the previously unreleased single "Somewhere Else", which peaked at Number 2.

In July 2005, the band performed at Hyde Park, London as part of the Live 8 series of concerts. However, the band came under fire for being the only band that did not donate their extra revenue to charity. The band subsequently claimed that due to their "fledgling status" and overall greed, they were unable to make such a commitment.
