Razorlight say stuff about a band that isn't Razorlight (aka Razorlight have a new record out soon)

Seriously, the opening line of DiS's Razorlight profile has brought tears to my eyes. Thank you, old biography writer, thank you.
Anyway, London's most passionate and wired rock and roll band have been shooting the shit in the direction of a fellow set of young pretenders, those darn Arctic Monkeys.
Smug-faced stick insect singer Johnny Borell is reported to have said that the Sheffield band aren't a patch on his own outfit. When asked if he thought Arctic Monkeys were a band worthy of Razorlight rival status, he replied: "Of course I fucking don't".
WOW.
Borell also said that The Strokes, Libertines and Yeah Yeah Yeahs were also waaaaaay better than the Arctic Monkeys. So that's them told, then.
Razorlight's second album is out in July, and is preceded by a single, 'In The Morning', on July 3rd. It'll be better than that dancefloor song, innit.*

Share on FacebookThat's The Coral song as well, yeah?
What's the first line of the bio? Ah go on...
Sorry, it's on their DiS profile...
ho is razorlit?
well someone has to.
honestly..
Who did write that?
I dare say their might have been a mix between 'muses' and 'off his face' in that piece.
If I was the copy writer in question I'd had to have a real cold shower after that. Or cut myself. On my face.
well apparently its taken from their website
...so at least no one in DiS is guilty
wow
talk about hagiography...
have you got any other shockers knocking about?
fuck me.....
fancy a man in a band saying controversial things, what does it matter to you diver? who gives a fuck what you say? your just another dis geek who's full of his own self importance, get a girlfriend you might find it fun.
Why does everyone tell me to get a girlfriend?
Is mine not good enough?
Is ten years too long without getting hitched, is that what is is?
Tell me, TELL ME.
because if..
youve got enough time to write shite like that shes not satisfying you
why don't you
put a 'gobstopper' in it...erm...gobstopper.
Razorlit
The shittest, most dull Oasis-interview-technique-copying band of its generation?
I can never
quite tell if it's sarcasm or not.

I don't think they sound anything like Oasis in their interviews; they just sound like any other band
.
I'm a bit sick of Razorlight's ego but I suppose as long as its Arctic Monkeys they're dissing and not a better band
or alternatively
your girlfriend isn't satisfying, as you have the time to respond to articles that don't really affect you.
haven't you heard?
the public spoke and there are no better bands than Arctic Monkeys!
well done Mr Public.
Whilst I agree that Borell is a cock...
He is absolutely right in everything he said as quoted above. The Arctic Monkeys aren't a patch on Razorlight. The Strokes, Libs and YYYs ARE waaaay better. Frankly, theyre shit.
Razorlight
I can't understand why a group of young lads from Sheffield can piss so many people off just because they brought out a fuckin supremely solid DEBUT album! They don't go around tellin everyone they are the dogs bollix when knob-jockeys like Johnny Borell shout their mouth off all the time.. the reason - cause he needs the publicity. All the Arctics are doin is playin their music, they don't need to talk shite like this fool...
Articlight
Seconded. Like or dislike the Monkeys they don't go sounding off every two seconds drawing attention to themselves and drumming themselves up to be the most important indie act of their generation. Personally, I prefer the songs of the Monkeys but more than that, I prefer the fact they're not nearly as deeply obnoxious.
i just think
that cockney spiv is just peeved cos he looks pretty simian in a cuntfaced kind of way. what a twat. Razorlight are appallingly bad and total wankers....however i think the london fans are to blame. i overheard the guitarist from the futureheads in a cafe in the toon a few weeks back...he basically said that he hates playing in London because the fans are "total wankers". He descibed that
the fans "turn up in fucking trivium T-shirts and wearing stetsons...what the fuck do I have in common with them?!". Seemed like a great bloke, but this Razorlight guy is the embodmiment of the 'cooler than thou' indie spaz.
