Brit sensations Razorlight will bring “America” to America this fall for a string of performances set to unleash material from the band’s sophomore self-titled LP, as well as preview new tunes from the quartet’s forthcoming third record. “We’ve spent most of this year trying to find time to tour in the States, so we’re really looking forward to finally getting to play these shows,” frontman Johnny Borrell said in a statement. “We proved a lot with the band’s second album, I think we grew as songwriters and took Razorlight to a new level which these days seems pretty rare with bands on their second record,” Borrell continued. “Part of what I’m looking forward to about being in the U.S. is that we can showcase songs that are coming together for album three.”
The tour, set to kick off Nov. 11 in Boston, will stroll through cities like New York, Seattle, Chicago, and Los Angeles.

11/7, Boston, MA (The Middle East)

Cobra Starship Announce Sophomore LP
Cobra Starship have revealed details for ¡Viva La Cobra!, the band’s sophomore LP and follow up to 2006’s While the City Sleep, We Rule the Street, slated to drop Oct. 23. The forthcoming effort, recorded in Brooklyn alongside producer and Fall Out Boy frontman Patrick Stump, was penned while the outfit was on the road for a lengthy North American tour with Decaydance labelmates Fall Out Boy. “We were always bored on tour because we played these enormo-domes outside the city. There was nothing around for miles, so we started writing songs on our laptops,” frontman Gabe Saporta said in a statement. “We weren’t planning on releasing a new album so quickly, but by the end of the tour we had almost 15 songs written.” Following the joint tour, Cobra Starship and Stump booked twenty days in the studio prefacing Cobra Starship’s world tour. The result: ¡Viva La Cobra!.
Coheed and Cambria Tote Fall of Troy on Fall Outing
