Source-derived summary

The discography of Razorlight, an English indie rock band, consists of five studio albums, one compilation album and thirteen singles. Razorlight's debut album, Up All Night, was released in the United Kingdom in June 2004 and reached number three on the UK Albums Chart. The album included the single "Somewhere Else", which peaked at number two on the UK singles chart. The band contributed the song "Kirby's House" to the War Child charity album Help!: A Day in the Life.

The band released their second album, Razorlight, in July 2006 and it debuted at number one in the UK. The lead single from the album, "In the Morning", peaked at number three in the UK. The band's third album, Slipway Fires, was issued in November 2008, preceded by the lead single "Wire to Wire". The second single was "Hostage of Love"; however, it failed to enter the charts in any other country than Germany. As a result, planned further releases from the album were cancelled. After a ten-year break, the band released their fourth album, Olympus Sleeping, in October 2018.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

Evidence profile

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 11, 2026.

Critical limits

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
