London indie-rock band,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Razorlight,\u00a0<\/b>have released their latest single,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u2018Sugar High\u2019,\u00a0<\/i>only a year after their comeback album,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u2018Planet Nowhere.\u2019<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

Known for their hits\u00a0\u2018America\u2019\u00a0<\/i>and\u00a0\u2018Golden Touch\u2019<\/i>, the band was formed in 2002 and had great success after the release of their self-titled second album\u00a0\u2018Razorlight\u2019.<\/i>\u00a0The band sold over 1.5 million copies in the UK and achieved a number one single in the UK charts. Razorlight was a notable British talent of the classic, indie-rock genre. After separating in 2014 the band had slowly begun fading from our musical memories.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

After reuniting with the original line-up in 2021, the band is now on the upwards trajectory. In 2024, they unexpectedly released their revival album\u00a0\u2018Planet Nowhere\u2019,\u00a0<\/i>their first together since 2008. The album brings together catchy rhythms and youthful energy, reminiscent of the band\u2019s 2000s, alternative-rock sound.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In a\u00a0<\/span>Facebook post<\/a><\/u><\/span>\u00a0from the band, lead singer\u00a0Johnny Borrell<\/b>, announced\u00a0\u2018Sugar High\u2019<\/i>\u00a0was a \u201clove letter to rock\u2019n\u2019roll.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

Nostalgic of 90s grunge and the raw energy of alternative rock, the song feels brave and daring; one which is certainly atypical of the band\u2019s discography of music.<\/span><\/p>\n

Quiet and slow dynamics are met with loud, thunderous, cymbal-filled choruses. The heavy, grunge feeling is embraced through the drums, played by\u00a0Andy Burrows<\/b>, and it\u2019s a beat which makes you want to bash along on air-drums.<\/span><\/p>\n

The instrumental juxtapositions are representative of the band\u2019s latest direction and growth, while still resonating with their classic rhythms.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Their revival has also seen them perform throughout summer 2025 at the Isle of Wight festival and other smaller venues such as Plymouth Summer Sessions and Caldicot Castle. Also gaining success from their sold-out UK headline tour, the band has been on a mission to connect old and new fans of the British indie rock scene.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Razorlight\u2019s new chapter has only just commenced and their latest releases make the band\u2019s future look promising.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
