      • there was many comparisons in the press when Up All Night came out

        they don't sound 'just' like them though. especially not now,as they're basically a power ballad band

  • I see!

    I see no!
    Eviiiiiiiiiiiiiiillllllllllllllllllllllllll

  • There are similarities

    I don't love Television enough, nor do I loathe Razorlight enough to be shocked or outraged by this thread. Must try harder!

  • Talking Heads ripped off Razorlight really badly too!

    Paul Burrell should sue.

    • haha^

      if original poster had said Razorlight stole a few tricks from Television, failed to pull them off convincingly and then morphed into a sagging, bloated, plodding conduit for their frontman's heroic fusion of ego and talentlessness, then you would have definitely had a point.

      But thanks anyway, you've reminded to listen to Adventure now - a tres underrated album - Dream's Dream... awesome! Check the live version on Spotify

  • Awful band in trying to sound like Awesome band shock horror

    Razorlight want(ed) to sound like Television and some of their first stuff does emulate it a little. By a little i mean Razorlights best moments at very best matching Televisions worst.

  • lol I misread this as Terrorvision

    SCROTUM | 23 Jul '09, 01:22 | X
    • It's a gross insult either way to lump either band with Razorlight

      degeneratecity @SCROTUM | 7 Jul '16, 17:10 | X
  • Marquee Moon, (the song) sounds a bit like something Razorlight would like to come up with

    But saying they are similar is like saying Kasabian sound like the Fall.

    I met a girl. She asked me my name. I told her what it was (Tristan). I asked her if she liked Slint. She said no.

  • The Strokes sound like a sped up television

    Particularly some of the guitar parts so it's no shock that they have similarities. To be fair the whole 00s British 'indie' sceane was so influenced by some of those proto and post punk bands. They just took those elements and took out the things that made it interesting
