Razorlight
“If Dylan’s making the chips then I’m drinking the champagne” – a bold statement from front-man Johnny Borrell, especially as Razorlight only formed in 2002. Despite a reputation for similar self-proclamations and ego-boosting, they’re actually not half bad – debut album ‘Up All Night’ reached number 3 in the UK album charts in 2004 and the group happened to play the biggest gig of all time, 2005’s Live 8.
