Razorlight frontman urged The Libertines to solve their problems

Jun 06, 2011
Razorlight frontman Johnny Borrell urged The Libertines' Pete Doherty and Carl Barat to join forces and solve the problems that the band has recently faced. Singer – who have shortly played with them earlier – claimed that the current state of The Libertines was very "depressing".

The Libertines reunited in 2010 to play several comeback shows that received a highly positive response. However, Pete Doherty recently faced charges of cocaine possession, while Carl Barat claimed that the band has "no future".

"Some people will tell me how bad things are for Pete and Carl, like that's going to make me feel good. It doesn't make me feel good. It's just depressing. It's just sad", claimed Borrell. Razorlight are currently working on the new album. According to Johnny Borrell, yet-untitled record will feature "good atmosphere".

The effort will become Razorlight's first album since 2009 when Andy Burrows left the band to work with his side project I Am Arrows. Upcoming record is set to be done by new line-up.

New album will become Razorlight's fourth studio effort. The previous one, named Slipway Fires, hit the stores in 2008.
