Slipway Fires by Razorlight
Slipway Fires is an album by Razorlight, released in 2008. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 2 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Wire to wire”, on 2 lists with a best position of #29.
Slipway Fires, Razorlight's third album, landed on 3 November 2008, made by the same lineup as the second: Johnny Borrell singing and playing guitar, founding members Björn Ågren on guitar and Carl Dalemo on bass, and Andy Burrows on drums. Coming after the self-titled record, it's a London indie band trying to keep the swagger while widening the frame.
"Wire to Wire" went out first. Zane Lowe premiered it on BBC Radio 1 in early September, it was released as a single later that month and climbed to number 5 on the UK Singles Chart. "Hostage of Love" followed in January 2009. It turned out to be the last Razorlight album for a long while: the band made no more records before splitting in 2014, and only reformed in 2017.
