Rip It Up, Razorlight (From Warrington Guardian)

Rip It Up, Razorlight

IT may have been the year of Keane, but Razorlight have not been too far behind.

And new single Rip It Up not only gives fans the chance to taste another gem from their acclaimed album, but also catch the band performing two live tracks.

Rip it Up was released as a taster more than a year ago and its rocky edge includes some edgy guitars and what can best be described as energetic drumming.

Also on this quality single (a bargain at £2) are two live tracks.

Fairy Tale of New York, recorded live for Radio One's Steve Lamacq late last year, and a summer performance of Stumble and Fall recorded at One Big Weekend in Birmingham.

Not only are these East Londers a band who can create a first-class studio album, they can also cut it live.
