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
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.
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
johnny burrell should sue
no
end of thread.
but they do
there is definite similarity in both guitar style and vocal inflection.
but marquee moon...
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^

Awful band in trying to sound like Awesome band shock horror

lol I misread this as Terrorvision
It's a gross insult either way to lump either band with Razorlight
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.
:D
Yup and thats why i dont rate them
you are wrong
twice
The Strokes sound like a sped up television
