Up All Night (2004)

Details Release Date: Oct 26, 2004; Lead Performance: Razorlight

This Anglo-Swedish outfit walks the Strokes-like line of co-opting classic indie influences to craft a relevant rock sound. But Razorlight have ambitions beyond your average neo- new waver, distinguishing themselves with eclectic, combustible tunes. In addition to invoking the Clash and the Cure, this no-filler debut conjures the wounded majesty of Springsteen and Patti Smith, especially on ''Vice,'' Up All Night's soul-stirring centerpiece.
