'Golden Touch'. In September 2004, fonding member Christian Smith-Pancorvo quit the band due to
stress issues.
The band's truimphant slot at Live8 catapulted them to international success and in the summer of
2006, the group released their critically acclaimed second album, simply titled 'Razorlight'. The record
has gone platinum in the UK and spawned two top 3 singles ('In The Morning' & 'America'). In October
2006 the band played their first ever arena dates in the UK, selling out the world famous Wembley
Arena.
In November 2008, Razorlight released their 3rd album. Titled 'Slipway Fires', it was preceded by lead
single 'Wire To Wire' which reached #5 on the UK charts. « hide |
