They quickly became one of the key guitar bands of the following decade, selling 4 million albums, playing sold out arena tours and headlining festivals. Their debut album, 'Up All Night', was released in the UK in 2004 reaching number three in the UK Album Chart.

They won the NME Best New Band award in 2005. The album included the single, 'Somewhere Else', which reached number two on the UK Singles Chart.

Razorlight's second album, 'Razorlight' (July 2006), debuted at number one in the UK. The lead single, 'In The Morning', reached number three in the UK - 'America' went straight to number one.

After a hiatus, the band got back to business in 2017 when Johnny began trying songs with guitarist David Ellis, formerly of Babeshadow. A new line up and a reinvigorated band started working on songs for a fourth album proper. Razorlight have earned their place as one of the most compelling, maverick guitar bands to have emerged from the UK.
